The USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) recently announced it was reinstating the July Cattle Report and the County Estimates for Crops and Livestock.
The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) thanked the NASS for reinstating the reports which were discontinued last year. NCBA noted they have provided critical data to farmers and ranchers for years.
“The return of the July Cattle Report and County Estimates is a big win for cattle producers who utilize these reports to efficiently run their operations and make important marketing decisions. These reports are not costly to produce and the amount they are used by the U.S. agriculture sector make them extremely cost-effective,” said NCBA Executive Director of Government Affairs Tanner Beymer. “NCBA thanks USDA-NASS for bringing back these vital reports and continuing to deliver timely, accurate, and useful statistics that bring transparency to livestock markets across the country.”
