  Reliability of Production, Disposition, and Income Estimates

Survey Procedures:   These estimates were based on inventory, birth, and price
estimates as published in NASS cattle, hog, sheep, and agricultural prices
reports, as well as information on inshipments and marketings obtained from
other sources.   The NASS inventory reports are based on probability surveys of
producers.   All producers, regardless of size, had a chance to be in the
survey.   Large operations were sampled more heavily than small operations.  
Since all operations raising cattle, hogs, or sheep are not included in the
sample, survey estimates are subject to sampling variability.   At the National
level, this variability, as measured by the relative standard error, is about 1
percent for cattle, 1 percent for hogs, and 2 percent for sheep.  Survey
results are also subject to non-sampling errors such as omissions, duplication,
and mistakes in reporting, recording, and processing the data. The effects of
these errors can not be measured directly, but they are minimized through rigid
quality controls in the data collection process and a careful review of all
reported data for consistency and reasonableness. Readers are referred to the
Survey Procedures section in the following NASS reports for further information
"Hogs and Pigs" released December 29, 1998, "Sheep and Goats" released January
29, 1999, "Cattle" released January 29, 1999, and "Agricultural Prices"
released February 26, 1999.



Estimation Procedures:   Estimation procedures for prices, beginning and ending
inventories and calf, pig, and lamb crop estimates are defined in the
Estimation Procedures section of the reports referenced above. This report
provides a balance sheet for each species.  The sum of inventory on hand at the
beginning of the year plus births and inshipments equals the sum of marketings,
farm slaughter, deaths, and inventory on hand at the end of the year.



Revision Policy:    Revisions to previous estimates are made to improve current
estimates.  For all species, previous year estimates of inshipments,
marketings, farm slaughter, and deaths are subject to revision when the current
year estimates are made.  Estimates are also reviewed after data from the
Department of Agriculture five-year Census of Agriculture are available. No
revisions are made after that date.




                      Terms and Definitions


Cash Receipts:  Receipts from marketings and any sale of farm-slaughtered 
meats.  For hogs and pigs, includes an allowance for feeder pig outshipments. 
U.S. prices received for cattle and calves, hogs and pigs, and sheep and lambs
were published in "Agricultural Prices", released February 26, 1999.


Farm Slaughter:  Animals slaughtered on farms primarily for home consumption.  
Excludes custom slaughter for producers at commercial establishments.


Gross Income:  Sum of cash receipts and value of home consumption.


Inshipments:  Livestock shipped into States for feeding or breeding.  Excludes 
animals brought in for immediate slaughter.


Inventory Value: The value of inventory on hand as of January 1 (cattle and
sheep) or December 1 (hogs).  Values per head are based on information reported
by respondents to the respective inventory surveys.


Marketings:  Includes animals for slaughter market and younger animals shipped 
to other States for feeding and breeding purposes.  Excludes interfarm sales
within the same State and farm slaughter.  Number of head marketed includes all
custom slaughter, but live weight marketed, shown in pounds, excludes custom
slaughter consumed on farms where produced.


Production:  Includes total live weight of animals marketed, farm slaughter, 
and custom slaughter consumed on farms where produced, minus live weight of
inshipments, with an adjustment for any increase or decrease in live weight of
inventory.


Value of Home Consumption:  Total value of on-farm slaughter and custom
slaughter consumed on the farm where produced.
