Analysis

Cattle inventories increased in 2011 as prices improved throughout the year. Canadian cattle farmers had justover 12.5 million cattle on their farms as of January 1, 2012, up 0.5% from the same date a year earlier; the firstyear-over-year increase in seven years.

The inventory of beef cows fell by 1.0%, continuing a downward trend that started in January 2006. However, theJanuary 1, 2012 inventory of beef replacement heifers increased 4.8% in the Western provinces and increased 1.0%in the East. Overall, inventories of beef replacement heifers rose 4.3%. The increase in replacement heifers indicatesthat producers are beginning to replenish the herd with younger cows.

Canadian farmers had about 1.4 million dairy cows and heifers on their farms, roughly unchanged fromJanuary 1, 2011.

An estimated 95,105 farms reported cattle and calves as of January 1, 2012, down 1.4% from the same date lastyear and down 4.3% from two years earlier. Beef producers account for approximately 85% of the total number offarms with cattle in Canada.

Usually more than half the heifers for slaughter and steers inventories in Canada, at January 1, are reported to beon feeding operations. The Western provinces had 31.6% of the total feeding operations and accounted for 76.8%of the Canadian cattle inventory on feeding operations on January 1, 2012.

There were 16,270 farms reporting dairy cattle at January 1, 2012 with 85.6% of those operations located in EasternCanada. Specialised dairy farms accounted for 88.0% of all farms producing dairy products. There were 1,570 farmsin Canada that kept both a dairy and a cow-calf (beef) herd on the same operation.

Livestock statistics

Inventory levels of the various types of livestock intended for sale in Canada are measured at specific timesthroughout the year. Surveyed operations are requested to include all animals located on the farming operation,regardless of ownership. They are also asked to include animals owned but pastured on a community pasture,grazing co-op or public land. Producers are asked to exclude animals owned but kept on a farm, ranch or feedlotoperated by someone else. Inventory levels are estimated for cattle, calves, pigs, sheep and lambs. Estimatesare also produced for certain categories of animals on the basis of age, sex, weight and/or purpose i.e. breedingor slaughter.

Current information on livestock inventories and related statistics such as supply and disposition enable thoseactive in the agricultural sector to observe and assess changes in the industry, measure performance and keepthe agricultural community and general public informed of developments. The primary data users are federal andprovincial governments, producer boards, farmers and farm organizations, private business, academic researchinstitutions and students. Livestock data assists governments in formulating agricultural policies and developingprograms. Farming organizations use statistics in developing recommendations for producers and governments.Farmers make increasing use of prices, production, and marketing statistics in planning their operations. Inaddition, these livestock statistics are used in the calculation of farm incomes and in the Canadian System ofNational Accounts for indicators such as gross domestic product.

Methods

To produce livestock estimates, there are actually 6 different survey occasions. All of the survey occasions collectdata primarily using Computer Assisted Telephone Interviews (CATI) although there are special procedures in placefor the very large or complex operations.

Two of the occasions are the January Livestock Survey and the July Livestock Survey. These are large-scale generallivestock surveys collecting data on cattle, hogs and sheep, referring to inventories at the 1st of the month. Theprobability samples include about 10,260 operations at January 1, and about 10,000 operations at July 1. Thesesurveys collect data during a three-week period in the western provinces, Ontario and Quebec. Regardless of whenoperators respond, they are asked to report inventories as of January 1 or July 1. The livestock survey results arereleased, following processing and analysis, approximately seven weeks after the reference date.

Hog inventories are the focus of two other survey occasions collecting estimates of pig numbers at April 1 andOctober 1. This survey was initiated in 1998 as estimates from 1978 to 1997 were based solely on analyticaltools. For the hog surveys, a sub-sample of the prior livestock survey is used. The probability samples areapproximately 2,100 operations and 2,500 operations, respectively, at April 1 and October 1 and, similar to thelivestock surveys, these CATI surveys cover the western provinces, Ontario and Quebec. Producers are requestedto report their inventories as of the reference date, although the data are collected during a 7-day period near orbefore that date. The hog survey results are normally released three to four weeks after the reference date.

The June and November Atlantic Surveys are used to produce estimates for that region. These surveys aremulti-purpose collecting data, primarily inventories, on livestock including cattle, hogs and sheep in addition tocollecting data related to the area, yield and production of the principal field crops. The probability samples areabout 1,000 operations in June and 1,100 operations in November. The results are released at the same time



as the livestock results. For reference points where surveys do not exist for the Atlantic region, analytical toolsare used to produce the estimates.

The total inventories are now distributed to a specific farm type, on the basis of survey results and sector levelbalance sheets. The two major categories are dairy and beef. The beef sector is then broken down to beef cattleon cow/calf and mixed beef and dairy operations; beef cattle on feeder, stocker/finish operations; and, beef cattleon feeding operations, which include feedlots.

Canadian exports to the United States are obtained from U.S. import custom documents and are officially releasedby the International Trade Division of Statistics Canada. These data try to register the province of origin of thecommodity, but when unknown, will reflect the province of entry into the United States. Information from secondarysources is used by Agriculture Division of Statistics Canada to better estimate the province in which the commoditywas raised/grown. Administrative data from the provinces are used to adjust the export numbers by province tobetter reflect provincial production. Though this methodology will result in different exports by province, the Canadianexport totals will equal those released by International Trade Division. At release, some export data are unavailable.The missing data are imputed based on historical and auxiliary data sourced from the United States Animal and PlantHealth Inspection Service. The imputed data are replaced with actual International Trade data when it becomesavailable.

To summarize, the livestock statistics are survey-based estimates. The survey relies on a list frame that is establishedevery five years by the Census of Agriculture and updated to include new entrants, particularly large hog operations.The probability sample surveys are conducted by telephone. The survey results are analysed and corrected beforethe data are used to analyse the industry and fine-tune the estimates. The survey data are reviewed in a boardenvironment before the commodity analyst works with the data primarily using supply-disposition analysis. Theresults of the industry analysis are reviewed by the board before being sent to the individual provinces. Once thedata are finalised they are released to the public and published. The principal data released include inventoriesand summarized supply-disposition tables. The data also flow, via farm income estimates, to the Canadian Systemof National Accounts. In addition the data are used in the calculation of net farm income projections, produced byAgriculture and Agri-Food Canada in co-operation with Statistics Canada and the provinces.
