The report notes increases in New York, Pennsylvania and West Virginia and indicates the yearly farm losses have diminished over the past decade.

Seasonal slump in beef trade in Washington report
Beef production reached 1.9 billion pounds in November, down from 2.1 billion in October. Agriculture Department experts say the decline is seasonal as cow slaughter peaks in October and tapers off, with slaughter figures showing a 4 percent year over year rise and a 3 percent rise over November 1972. Big cow slaughter this year reflects herd trimming and a record cattle supply weighing on prices.
