Periodicals and Non-IRS Publications
Available at most public libraries are hard copy and microfilm copies of livestock trade and farm industry periodicals.

Your State Department of Agriculture prints agricultural economic information on an annual basis. The extension service of the USDA in conjunction with the primary agricultural college or university of your state also has valuable information. Most of these publications are available at no cost to IRS employees.

Appendix D - Livestock Breed Associations
The following list of livestock breed associations is provided as a reference tool. Generally, if a farmer is dealing with a registered breed, you will be able to have the farmer provide any information you need. In the instance where information is not directly available, you may need to contact the association directly. Consider these associations as third party contacts and utilize them as you would any third party.
Breed associations can provide general information regarding the breed including special needs, animal availability, unique health considerations, guidelines for successful breeding, etc. In some instances, a list of members can be obtained which would represent potential suppliers or buyers. Market considerations may be available either published for the benefit of the buyers or through the association as personal knowledge.
This list is not exhaustive. Other specific breed associations are available and can be quickly located with an Internet key-word search. Two of the many websites include:

Electronic Sources of Information
The Economic Research Service (ERS) of the USDA provides statistical information related to agricultural operations within the United States. Much of this information is obtained from surveys of farmers throughout the United States. This research is then reduced to the averages shown in tables.
Another branch of the USDA is the National Agricultural Statistical Service (NASS). The information provided through NASS is based on factual information accumulated through the agricultural marketing operations within each state and reported at the state or national level. Comparative data for the current year-to-date and one prior year are generally published.
Historical and current data can be obtained on commodities, hogs, cattle, chickens, etc.
