North Carolina Livestock Inventories Drop in 1947
Federal State Crop Reporting Service data show declines in livestock inventories on North Carolina farms from January 1947 to January 1. The decrease in value per head outweighed gains in some segments, totaling a $658,000 drop in the state's livestock inventories for the year. The report aggregates data from thousands of farmers and aligns with the U S Office Department rural route data. Cattle numbers held steady while overall inventories of other species fell, with mule counts at their lowest January 1 since 1924.

Livestock on United States Farms Dips to 1939 Low in 1947
The 1947 year end livestock and poultry totals fell to the lowest level since 1939, marking four consecutive declines from the 1944 peak. High meat prices spurred slaughter while reduced feed and high costs curbed feeding and breeding. Despite smaller inventories, farm value of livestock and poultry on January 1, 1948 set a record at 13.451 billion dollars, up 12 percent from last year and 90 percent above the 1937-46 average.
