Countries & Regions = United States of America, World (Total)
Items = Live Animals (Cattle), Livestock primary (Meat, Cattle)
Elements = Stocks, Production Quantity
Years = 2022
Output Used:
U.S. beef production= 12,890,324 tonnes vs. global beef production = 69,3466,116 tonnes. Therefore, U.S. beef production would be ~19% of global beef production.
U.S. cattle stocks= 92,076,600 head vs. World cattle stocks= 1,551,515,624 cattle. Therefore, the U.S. would have ~6% of the world’s total cattle.
