USDA Reminds Livestock Producers There Is Still Time To Respond To Livestock Inventory Surveys

USDA Reminds Livestock Producers There is Still Time to Respond to Livestock Inventory Surveys
 
Recent and forecast winter storms are a poignant reminder that good information is needed to help allocate emergency resources in times of crisis. There is still time to respond to the USDA-NASS Cattle Inventory and the Sheep and Goat Inventory surveys but time is running out. Data collection will end on January 19th. If you need help completing your report, or need more information, please call 1(800) 626-3142. These data are critical in helping assess and allocate emergency resources.
 
 
NASS safeguards the privacy of all responses and publishes only state and national-level data in aggregate, ensuring that no individual producer or operation can be identified.

In this episode of our sheep farming vlog at Ewetopia Farms, we’re diving deeper into one of the most important parts of raising purebred sheep — selecting our breeding stock. ?? This episode is a direct follow-up to our popular video “You Be The Judge,” where we invited viewers to help evaluate our rams. We read through your comments, shared your insights, and now we’re responding! Arnie and I go over what we agreed with, where our opinions differed, and what we look for when choosing both rams and ewes to carry on our genetics. Breeding decisions at Ewetopia Farms aren’t just about looks — they’re about structure, performance, temperament, and the future of the flock. Whether you’re building your own breeding program or just curious how we make these decisions, today’s discussion offers a rare look inside the thought process behind improving a flock year after year.
