Meat Animals Production, Disposition and Income: Final Estimates 2003-2007

摘要

This bulletin presents final estimates, including revisions made by the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB), for the production years 2003 through 2007. The production, disposition, and income from meat animals for 2003-2007 were published during calendar years 2004-2008. Data included in this publication provide a historic record and a benchmark for current estimates. Revisions were made after a thorough review of the original survey data and all additional data now available, including the 2007 Census of Agriculture. Other data series considered included slaughter data, shipment records, imports, exports, and any other available administrative information. The 2003-2007 estimates shown herein are considered final and will not be revised again. At the National level, revisions to estimates of meat animals production and gross income were one-half of one percent or less for cattle and hogs, and less than five percent for sheep.
