[QUOTE="Campground Cattle, post: 71486, member: 195"] COW NUMBERS AND LOCATIONS The USDA 2002 Census of Agriculture shows some interesting facts about the nation’s beef cow business. From 1997 to 2002, the number of beef cow operations in the U. S. went down about 11 percent, to a little less than 800,000 operations. (Dairy operations declined even more, about 26 percent.) Almost all of the drop was in small operations, those with less than 50 cows, while herds above 100 cows increased slightly. Still, in 2002 over 90 percent of the herds had less than 100 cows, with a little less than 50 percent of the total cow numbers. Between 8 and 9 percent of the operations had between 100 and 500 cows, with about 38 percent of the total numbers. Operations with over 500 cows represented less than 1 percent, but they had almost 15 percent of the cows. This is from TAMU also still haven't been able to find the demographic report that gave the age brackets on Ranchers. [/QUOTE]
