Cattle and Calves sits in the top cash-receipt band
Among 12 commodities with national cash receipts in this ERS table, Cattle and Calves ranks #1 at $80.0B (100% of peak $80.0B; TX leads production).
State concentration for cattle and calves: the top five producers (Nebraska, Kansas, Texas, Iowa, Colorado) account for about 66612% of the national receipt total in this extract, and a drought or trade shock in any one of those states moves the national price picture within a marketing year.
As a livestock account, cattle and calves cash receipts move with herd inventories, feed costs, and slaughter weights rather than planted acreage alone. Figures follow USDA Economic Research Service Farm Income and Wealth Statistics and NASS production series, not typed editorial estimates.
