NASS conducts cattle, sheep inventory survey
US - The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service will conduct 2007 January Cattle and Sheep/Goat surveys this winter to gather reliable information about inventories for all states. Producers will be asked to report during the Dec. 29 - Jan. 12 data collection period.Having quality information enables the USDA and the cattle and sheep/goat industries to be more responsive to the American and international public, increase consumer understanding and awareness, and establish an appreciation for the safety and health benefits of U.S. beef and lamb products.
NASS safeguards the confidentiality of all survey responses. Data collected from individual operations are combined with other responses to provide the needed data. NASS will not disclose any data about an individual operation.
