America Has More People… But Fewer Animals to Feed Them

America’s population has grown dramatically since 1970—but what has happened to the livestock that helps feed that growing population? In this video, we dig into more than 50 years of U.S. data to compare the growth of the American population with changes in our cattle, sheep, and goat herds. Why shrinking herds could matter for ranchers, consumers, and the future of American meat production The United States has added well over 100 million people since 1970, but our livestock numbers haven’t kept pace. In some cases, they’ve moved dramatically in the opposite direction. So why are there fewer animals for a much larger population? And what could this mean for meat prices and American agriculture in the years ahead? Watch to the end as we break down the numbers and discuss what they could mean for farmers, ranchers, and anyone who buys meat. Channel Sponsor: Summit Metals https://summitmetals.com/collections/...
