WELCOME to the
second issue of the Bi-Annual
Cattle Review for 2011!
Again, I thank all participants from the cattle industry
for their continued support
and cooperation — especially
the producers who provide
data for the bi-annual Cattle
and monthly Cattle on Feed
surveys. Without their commitment and participation,
this report would not be possible.
This publication is a compilation of related reports issued
by USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS) in an effort to provide a complete source of
statistics relevant to the cattle industry.
Though many of the statistics
in this publication can be
accessed through our website
on a regular basis
(www.nass.usda.gov/
Publications), this Oklahoma
Field Office summary will be
issued twice a year following
the release of the USDA-
NASS bi-annual Cattle report.
Please feel free to contact
our office with any comments or questions you may
have. I hope you find this
information useful!
