Cattle, sheep and goat producers in Virginia will be surveyed in July as part of a national livestock inventory.

Herman Ellison with the National Agricultural Statistics Service says about 150 cattle producers and nearly 100 sheep and goat producers in Virginia will be contacted.

Ellison says the survey is being conducted to measure trends in beef and dairy cattle inventories, calf crop and cattle operations. It also will collect the number of breeding and market sheep and goats, lambs and kids born during the year.

Results of the survey will be published in the agency's Sheep and Goat Report, scheduled to be released July 24, and the Cattle Report, scheduled to be released July 25.
