			<p><p>COLLEGE STATION &#x2013; The 54 Texas counties declared a disaster area due to Hurricane Harvey contain over 1.2 million beef cows, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture inventory report.</p><p>&#x201c;That&#x2019;s 27 percent of the state&#x2019;s cowherd,&#x201d; said Dr. David Anderson, Texas A&amp;M AgriLife Extension Service livestock economist in College Station. &#x201c;That&#x2019;s a conservative estimate of beef cow numbers because 14 of those counties only have cattle inventory estimates.&#x201d;</p><p>Anderson noted since it is late August, a lot of calves in the affected areas are either close or ready to be marketed. The disaster area also includes a large number of livestock auction markets and Sam Kane meat processing.</p><p>Anderson also commented on the recent USDA Cattle on Feed report.</p><p>National placements were reported up 2.7 percent. The average of the pre-report estimates was up about 6.1 percent from last year, Anderson noted.</p><p>&#x201c;I think it is likely that placements in earlier months pulled cattle ahead, as has happened on the marketing side of the ledger in the first half of the year,&#x201d; Anderson said. &#x201c;Placements in July were lower than June, for the first time since 2007. It makes for an interesting placements chart with the counter seasonal move.&#x201d;</p><p>The number of cattle on feed was reported to be 104.3 percent of a year ago.</p><p>&#x201c;Another interesting point is the increasing number of cattle on feed more than 120 days,&#x201d; he said. &#x201c;This will bear watching. We have placed more lighter weight cattle in recent months, but we certainly don&#x2019;t need slower marketings.&#x201d;</p><p>Higher placements in Minnesota, Nebraska and South Dakota indicated more cattle moving to Corn Belt feeders, but on the other side of that, Iowa placements were below a year ago, Anderson said.</p></p>
