Estimates of livestock holdings in counties in the conterminous United States as reported in the 1987 Census of Agriculture
Description
This coverage contains estimates of livestock holdings in counties in
the conterminous United States as reported in the 1987 Census of
Agriculture (U.S. Department of Commerce, 1989a). Livestock holdings data
are reported as either a number (for example, number of milk cows), number
of farms, or in thousands of dollars. Livestock holdings estimates were
generated from surveys of all farms where $1,000 or more of agricultural
products were sold, or normally would have been sold, during the census
year.
Most of the attributes summarized represent 1987 data, but some
information for the 1982 Census of Agriculture also was included.
The polygons representing county boundaries in the conterminous United
States, as well as lakes, estuaries, and other nonland-area features were
derived from the Digital Line Graph (DLG) files representing the
1:2,000,000-scale map in the National Atlas of the United States (1970).
