U.S. Cattle Inventory Reaches 73 Year Low​

"Not many ranchers active today will remember the last time the U.S. cattle industry was this small. On January 1, 2024, the All Cattle and Calves inventory was 87.15 million head, the smallest total inventory since 1951. The All Cattle and Calves inventory is 1.9 percent smaller year over year and is the fifth consecutive year of declining cattle inventories, a total decrease of 7.65 million head or 8.1 percent since the most recent peak in 2019. The 2023 calf crop was 33.6 million head, down 2.5 percent year over year and the smallest calf crop since 2014.

The January 1, 2024 beef cow herd inventory was 28.22 million head, down 2.5 percent year over year and a decrease of 3.47 million head or 10.9 percent lower, from the cyclical peak in 2019 (Table 1). The current beef cow inventory is the smallest beef cow herd since 1961. Table 1 shows that the top ten beef cow states, which currently represent 57.3 percent of total beef cows, accounted for 79.4 percent of the year over year decrease in total beef cow numbers and 67.7 percent of the decrease from 2019 to 2024..."

The stock market means very little to the economy when people's credit cards are maxed out and they're having to work two jobs to afford everything.

I've been warning Americans that the WEF will soon use democrats to ban private livestock ownership in America as part of their depopulation agenda.

Resistance to democrats is obedience to God

Too much farm land and too many cattle ranches have been bought up by developers to make shitty and cheap subdivisions. That is a major factor why all this land is disappearing.
