Your answers to the questions below are needed to prepare reliable State and National cattle on feed statistics to be published in the January 19, 2010 Cattle on Feed Report. Under Title 7 of the U.S. Code and CIPSEA (Public Law 107-347), facts about your operation are kept confidential and used only for statistical purposes in combination with similar reports from other producers. Response is voluntary. However, these data are collected and published as a service to the cattle industry and may assist in planning and adjusting your cattle feeding operations.
