The USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) has launched its July cattle inventory survey, mailing it to approximately 18,000 operations nationwide.
This marks the first July survey since key reports were reinstated earlier this year.
Producers can report beef and dairy inventories, calf crop, death loss and cattle on feed at agcounts.usda.gov, by phone at 888-424-7828, by mail or through a local interview with a NASS representative.
“This information helps producers make timely, informed business decisions,” said NASS Livestock Branch Chief Travis Averill. The data also supports packers and policymakers in forecasting slaughter volume and export supply. The July Cattle report will be released on July 25.
