1/  Number of feedlots with 1,000 head or more capacity is the number of lots
    operating at anytime during the year.  Number under 1,000 head capacity is
    the number at the end of the year.
2/  The 13-State totals show the actual number of feedlots, inventory, and
    number of animals marketed in each size group.  The sum of the numbers shown
    by States under a specified size group may or may not add to the 13-State
    total for that size group since for some States size groups are combined to
    avoid disclosing individual operations.
3/  Inventory is the number on hand at the end of the year.
*   Lots, inventory, and marketings from other size groups are included to avoid
    disclosing individual operations.
