    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 sheep, and 2 percent for    
hogs.  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 27, 1996,                
"Sheep and Goats" released January 31, 1997, "Cattle" released January 31, 1997,
and "Agricultural Prices" released February 28, 1997.                           
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                
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 Commerce's five-year Census of Agriculture are available.
No revisions are made after that date.

sheep and lambs were published in "Agricultural Prices", released               
February 28, 1997.

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
