Reliability of July 1 Cattle and Calves Estimates

Survey Procedures: A random sample of U.S. producers was surveyed to
provide data for these estimates. Survey procedures ensured that all
cattle producers, regardless of size, had a chance to be included in the
survey. Data were collected during the first half of June from about
40,000 small and medium sized operations. These operators were contacted
by face-to-face personal interviews. About 10,000 large producers and
feedlots were contacted during the first half of July by mail, telephone,
and face-to-face personal interviews. Operators were asked to report
inventories as of the first of the month and calf crop for the entire
year of 2004
