                         Livestock Slaughter Estimates

Data Sources:  Primary data for the commercial livestock slaughter estimates
               are obtained from the Weekly Livestock Slaughter Report (LS-149)
questionnaires completed by inspectors from the Food Safety and Inspection
Service (FSIS), USDA, which provide actual counts of animals slaughtered in
Federally Inspected (FI) plants.  These counts are combined with data from
State-administered Non-Federally Inspected (NFI) slaughter plants to derive
total commercial slaughter estimates.  Over 95 percent of the total U.S.
slaughter for any species is under FI.  The LS-149 forms collect number of head
slaughtered daily under FI by species and class as well as head kill after
condemnation and total live and dressed weights.

Approximately 950 plants in the U.S. are operated under Federal Inspection and
2,500 plants under State inspection. Slaughter from State-inspected Talmedge-
Aiken plants is included in FI totals (see Types of Plants, page 97).  To
prevent duplication in reporting between NFI and FI plants and assure all FI
plants are included, certificates prepared by FSIS identifying operating status
are constantly monitored.


Revision Policy:  Revisions are generally the result of late or corrected data
                  and are less than one-half of 1 percent.  Revisions for the
previous month and the year-to-date totals are noted in each monthly release by
an (*) or a footnote.  Final data are published in this release.


Procedures and Reliability:  Individual inspectors may be contacted by
                             telephone if the Weekly Livestock Slaughter Report
questionnaire is not received by NASS in time for summarization.  This assures
that all plants slaughtering a large number of head or several species are
accounted for each week.

All head kill data are tabulated on a weekly basis approximately two weeks
after the kill week.  A computer edit compares each plant's data with the
historical data for that plant.  The edit provides a missing reports listing
for followup telephone contact and imputes missing weight data.  In addition,
data are checked for unusual values for species, class, head kill, and pattern
of kill generally, based on each plant's past operating profile.

Usually, if no form is received by mail, data for plants slaughtering fewer
than 50 total head weekly of only one species are imputed.  Imputation of live
and dressed weight data may also be necessary on partially completed forms for
any plant.  The imputation is also based on the data history of each respective
plant and represents the recent operating characteristics until final data are
tabulated.  Imputed head kill for missing plants usually is less than 1 percent
of the U.S. head kill totals.  Imputation for live and dressed weight data for
cattle is about 15 percent and for hogs about 10 percent.  The imputation for
calves and sheep is more frequent and variable.

Head kill for FI slaughter before condemnation is for the actual days of the
survey month, while head kill after condemnation and live and dressed weight
data are for full weeks only.  Average live and dressed weight and dressing
percentages by State are compared with the previous week as an additional


check.  Fluctuations are frequently the result of plants permanently or
temporarily closing and a shift in the kind of animal reported.

FI data are summarized weekly and accumulated to a monthly total for this
release, while NFI data are summarized monthly only.  These weekly totals are
published by USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) in Livestock, Meat,
Wool Market News, Weekly Summary, and Statistics.

Livestock slaughter estimates are based on a census of operating plants and,
therefore, have no sampling error.  However, they may be subject to errors such
as omissions, duplications and mistakes in reporting, recording and processing
the data.  These errors are minimized through rigid quality controls in the
edit and summarization process, and a careful review of all reported data for
consistency and reasonableness.

Generally, no data are published if less than three plants operate for a
species in a State or if one plant has 60 percent or more of the total
commercial slaughter for a species.  These data are included in U.S. totals.  A
review of the reported data is made annually.

                                Types of Plants

There are generally four types of slaughtering plants.


(1)   Federally Inspected (FI) Plants:  Plants that transport meat interstate
                                        must employ federal inspectors to
      assure compliance with USDA standards.  Any State whose commercial plants
      operate entirely under federal inspection may still have custom-exempt
      establishments for which NFI estimates are made.


(2)   Talmedge-Aiken (TA) Plants:  Slaughter plants in which USDA is
                                   responsible for inspection.  However,
      federal inspection is carried out by State employees.  These plants are
      considered to be federally inspected.


(3)   Non-Federally Inspected (NFI) Plants:  Plants which sell and transport
                                             only intrastate.  State inspectors
      assure compliance with individual State standards for these NFI plants.
      Mobile slaughtering units are excluded and are considered farm slaughter.


(4)   Custom-Exempt Plants:  Plants that do not sell meat but operate on a
                             custom basis only are custom-exempt.  The animals
      and meat are not inspected, but the facilities must meet health
      standards.  These are considered NFI plants and head kill is included in
      NFI totals.


                             Terms and Definitions

Commercial Production:  Includes slaughter and meat production in federally
                        inspected and other plants, but excludes animals
slaughtered on farms.


Dressed Weight:  The weight of a chilled animal carcass.  Beef with kidney
                 knob in; veal with hide off; lamb and mutton with pluck out;
pork with leaf fat and kidneys out, jowls on and head off.


Dressing Percent:  Is usually expressed as a percentage yield of chilled
                   carcass in relation to the weight of the live animal on
hoof.  For example, a live hog that weighed 200 pounds on hoof and yielded a
carcass weighing 140 pounds would have a dressing percentage of 70.


Food and Meat Inspection:  Includes examination, checking, or testing of a
                            carcass and/or meat against established government
standards and involves checking the facility for cleanliness, health of
animals, or parts of animals and quality of the meat produced.


Live Weight:  The gross weight of a live animal when received at the slaughter
              plant.


Plant, Slaughter:  An establishment where animals are killed and butchered.


Red Meat:  Red meat production is the carcass weight after slaughter including
           beef, veal, pork, and lamb and mutton.  It is derived using the
number of head times average dressed weight for FI and NFI separately.  FI head
kill must be adjusted for condemnations using the factor derived from the FSIS
inspection reports.

The FI meat production formula is (FI head kill) X (1 - condemnation factor) X
(average dressed weight) = FI red meat production.  The condemnation factor is
the number of animals condemned as a percentage of the total kill.  It has been
fairly stable for the last ten years; running about 1.547 head per 100 head for
calves, .359 per 100 for cattle, .336 per 100 for hogs and .500 per 100 for
sheep.  The NFI meat production formula is (NFI head kill) X (live weight) X
(FI dressing percentage) = NFI red meat production.


Slaughter:  Killing and butchering of animals primarily for food.


Slaughter, Farm:  Animals slaughtered on farms primarily for home consumption.
                  Excludes custom slaughter for farmers at commercial
establishments, but includes mobile slaughtering on farms.  These estimates
appear only in the annual slaughter release.


Wholesome Meat Act:  Legislation that specifies that all meat produced for
                     sale in the U.S. must be inspected; and further, meat that
is transported interstate must be inspected in compliance with federal (USDA)
standards.
