MARKETING COWS A press release received by Alberta Agriculture from the Canadian Cattlemen's Association strongly advocates that cattlemen, especially dairymen, make every effort to market as many cows as pos- sible in the second end third quarter? of the year instead of in the traditional fourth quarter. During the many years that the association has been charting cow marketings and prices, they have observed that marketings are lowest in the second and third quarters and that prices are highest at those times. The fourth quarter is the convenient time to market beef cows because it is at that time that calves are weaned and pregnancy tests are done. However, some heavy marketings also take place in the first quarter of the year. The tables below show the general relationships of lower marketings and higher prices in the second and third quarters of the year. According to the cattle commission,the exception in the third quarter of 1974 was due to generally bouyant cattle prices in the first quarter, and the long slide m prices that occurred in the third quarter of that year.
