"cattle stock" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It can be used to refer to the livestock or animals raised and kept for their meat, milk, or other products. Example: The farmer's cattle stock had grown considerably over the past year, with over a hundred cows and bulls grazing in the fields.
Cereal production is down by 70% (pdf), and cattle stock has declined by 46%, while production of coffee and cotton, the two main cash crops, are down by 28%and42%2% respectively, compared with before the crisis, in a country where 8 out of 10 people depend on agriculture.
In economic loss, kills represented 0.3% of the cattle stock value.
The observed prices in general remained within this area, except for the unusual rise after the cattle stock liquidation in previous years, which was exacerbated by a severe flood in the year 2007 and drought in 2009.
Following years of explicit as well as disguised control measures, a drop in cattle stock occurred, by almost 10 million head, as well as in beef exports, while beef consumer price also increased.
As a case of application of the selected sustainability indicators the federal state of Baden-Wuerttemberg in Germany has been chosen due to its still high percentage of grassland and the fact that its cattle stock is continuously decreasing.
The main driving forces for the decrease of grassland are not only the continuously shrinking cattle stock being the primary user of grassland [2], but also the German Renewable Energies Act which makes the production of maize as a feedstock for biogas plants profitable.
Since then, livestock producers hit by drought and rising feed costs have been liquidating and reducing herds to the point where American cattle stocks are at their lowest level since 1952.
Most variables responded to cattle stocking rate (P < 0.05) and the responses depended on slope position.
We also examined the effect of two cattle stocking rates the first year.
The heaviest cattle stocking rate established but did not maintain low vegetative structure in the burn patch.
Furthermore, smallholders tend to maintain higher cattle stocking rates than medium- and large-scale landholders, which tend to adopt extensive systems of cattle production.
