North American Ranching Industries, Beef Cattle Trade, and Grasslands: Status and Trends

Description

These sets of infographics stem from CEC-funded efforts to chronicle recent trends in the North American cattle ranching industry and beef cattle trade, and the grasslands that support these vital sectors. Experts compiled data from Canada, Mexico and the United States according to an agreed-upon set of variables and procedures, including the use of common time frames and measurement units. It is, however, important to note that these statistics were originally collected by a variety of agencies under a broad range of definitions, assumptions, protocols and conditions.
