W elcome to
the January 2013
issue of the Bi-Annual Cattle
Review! First, I thank all
participants from the cattle
industry for their continued
support and cooperation –
especially the producers who
provide data for the bi-annual
Cattle and monthly Cattle on
Feed surveys. Without their
commitment and participa-tion,
this report would not
be possible.
Though many of the statistics
in this publication can be
accessed through our website
on a regular basis
(www.nass.usda.gov/
Publications), this Oklahoma
Field Office summary will be
issued twice a year following
the release of the USDA-NASS
bi-annual Cattle report.
Please feel free to contact
our office with any com-ments
or questions you may
have. I hope you find this
information useful!
