Abstract

According to the 1964 census the production and sale of livestock provided a major source of income in the state of Utah. Twenty-three of the state's twenty-nine counties received more than 40 percent of their total farming income from livestock sales in 1959. According to Taylor (1965) this is expected to increase even more. In studying the economic sources within Utah, it becomes evident that many of the state's farmers and ranchers depend heavily on the sale of livestock for their livelihood. Upon observing this fact, Taylor (1965) states that farm income will depend just as heavily on the sale of livestock as in the past. He suggests one reason for this increase is because beef cattle have been replacing dairy herds and sheep since 1945. For example, between 1962-64 dairy cattle decreased by 38, 000 head.
