from Agricultural Review of the Year 1922

The total number of cattle, 5,721,800, is 205,000 greater than last year. Cows and heifers in milk or in calf number ,521, 400 (sic) or 20,000 more than in 1921, and the largest on record except in 1918 and 1919. The number of heifers in calf is, however, 74,300 less than the high figure of last year, but is still some 17,000 greater than in 1920. The large increase in the number of calves recorded last year has practically been maintained, whilst the number of yearling cattle is 30 per cent greater than in 1921.The heavy slaughterings of calves in the spring of 1920 shows this year in cattle two years old and above which number 78,300 less than last year.
