Regional livestock movements are approximated by compiling
data from State certificates of veterinary inspection
for animals destined for feeding or breeding purposes
and exclude animals for immediate slaughter. Since source-destination
data are not tabulated for all States, shipping patterns
generated from these data underestimate actual flows,
and hence only provide a general sense of livestock movements.
For more information, see the Source
Report and Data Questions
and Answers.
Regional Flow Data
On each map below, shipments out of a region are compared
with births in that region to illustrate the extent of
movements. For example, the Mountain region ships a large
number of cattle to other regions (2.7 million head) relative
to its calf crop (5.6 million head). In contrast, because
it has substantial feeding operations within the region,
the Corn Belt ships fewer cattle (0.8 million head) compared
with its calf crop (4.2 million head).
