Annual Livestock Inventory Shows 1948 Decline Amid Shifts
Livestock and poultry on farms and ranches declined slightly in 1948 to the lowest level since 1939, with cattle up modestly, hogs up, and turkeys rising while sheep horses mules and chickens fell. Despite the overall drop, feeding and market trends in 1949 improved prospects as the outlook for feed and prices strengthened. Cattle numbers increased by 361,000 head, offsetting declines in milk cows, and the year saw a recovery in beef production amid shifting herd composition.

Milk cows fell two percent, beef cows held steady, steers increased due to more on hand for market and smaller slaughter. Sheep numbers declined again, with record low Jan 1 stock, and fatstock on feed down 15 percent from a year earlier. Drought in Texas drove sheep liquidation, while high lamb prices and predator losses shifted farming choices. Breeding ewe lamb retention dropped, signaling ongoing declines in stock sheep counts.
