Cadet wins scholarship
Karen D. Bradshaw, senior Air
Force ROTC cadet at Texas A&M
University, has been accepted into
medical school on Air Force schol
arship.
She is the first woman cadet at
A&M accepted to medical school.
Bradshaw, of Texarkana, will be
commissioned a reserve second
lieutenant in the Medical Service
Corps upon enrollment at the Uni
versity of Texas at Dallas South
western Medical School.
On completion of medical
studies, she will enter Air Force act
ive duty in the rank of captain.
Col. Robert Elkins, professor of
aerospace studies, noted that the
scholarship will pay for tuitions, fees
and books. “We regret losing her in
the final year of the Air Force
ROTC program, but wanted this to
happen for her,” Col. Elkins said.
A pre-medicine major in zoology
at A&M, she is scholastic officer of
Company W-l, known in the Cadet
Corps as “Minerva’s Finest.” Brad
shaw has a grade point ratio of more

Beef prices move upwards in 197
“While cattle producers have
been eagerly looking forward to
1977, beef consumers may be
somewhat uneasy. This rather gen
eral attitude is the result of recent
supply and price forecasts for the
new year,” said Dr. Ed Uvacek,
livestock marketing specialist with
the Texas Agricultural Extension
Service.
Due to income losses by both
ranches and feedlots during the last
several years, consumers have actu
ally been provided with beef at con
siderably below its production cost.
Uvacek noted, for example, that
in 1976 most ranchers lost about $50
to $75 per cow. On top of that, cat
tle feeding costs were $75 to $100
above final sales prices.
“This means, given the same
packer and retailer marketing mar
gins that existed for the year, but
assuming producers just broke-even
on their animals, the retail price for
choice beef would have been almost
$2 per pound. The average for the
year, however, was only $1.39 per
pound.
“Hence, producer losses have ac
tually subsidized consumer pur
chases of beef,” the specialist said.
These losses have resulted in a
severe curtailment of cattle produc
tion, said Uvacek. Breeding cow
herds were reduced almost 1.9 mil
lion head in 1975 and another 2 mil
lion head in 1976. Lower supplies of
beef this year should move prices
upwards.
Uvacek’s forecasts for the new
year are encouraging for producers
but bad news for consumers.
Higher beef prices are expected
until mid-year, with April or May
price levels being 15 to 20 per cent
higher than present. Beyon]
year, the market trend
down only slightly.
“There is a strong possiblj
many ranchers will not
costs, but may even maltl
money. Cattle feedlosts, lill
are expected to do better anil
should be rare. This improvl
nomic picture for producers!
however, that consumers i
ready to pay substantially 1
prices for beef in 1977,” t
said.
