RELIABILITY AND ESTIMATING PROCEDURES Primary data used in making cattle estimates in this report were obtained from a sample of farmers and ranchers across the U.S. using probability surveys. Information was collected by mail, telephone, and personal interview. In Florida, over 900 operators of cattle and dairy farms provided the basic data for the State estimates. Their cooperation is greatly appreciated. Since all operations with cattle were not included in the sample, survey estimates are subjected to sampling variability. The variability, as measured by the relative standard error, is slightly more than one percent of the total cattle and calves at the National level.
