THE CUBA REVIEW 



HAVANA 



SANTA CLARA CATTLE 



According to all ajipearances there is not 

 in the Cienfuogos district the number of 

 cattle required for actual home consumption, 

 as is shown by the gradual increase in price, 

 which was 5^ to 6 cents per pound live 

 weight last March, with a rising tendency. 



This situation has arisen from the scarcity 

 of pastures, which are rapidly decreasing, as 

 cane planters now pay $80 to $100 rent per 

 caballeria (33 acres), which for pasture pur- 

 jjoses would be considered high at $40 to $50. 

 There are no official statistics, but it is quite 

 certain that Cuba needs annually over 500,000 

 head of cattle. To obtain this supply there 

 are required at least 1,000,000 to 1,200,00() 

 stock cows, producing annually a half million 

 cattle, but the actual number in existence is 

 probably 30 to 40 per cent, less than that 

 required. 



The prices of cattle in March, 1914, were 

 as follows: 3-year-old bulls for fattening, 

 $34 to $36; 2-year-old bulls, $30 to $33; 

 yearlings, $18 to $22; cows for breeding, 

 $30; heifers, 3 vears old, $26 ; 2 years old, 

 $17 to $18; and 1 year old, $14 to $15. 



On December 31, 1913, there were in the 

 municipal district of Cienfuegos the following 

 number of live stock: Cattle — bulls, 47,956; 

 cows, 64,186. Horses, 10,265; mares, 10,485. 

 Mules — male, 1,149; mares, 1,678.
