North American Industry Classification System
Feeder cattle are young animals purchased to be grown out on feed before slaughter, while slaughter cattle are ready for immediate processing. This distinction affects HTS classification for live animal imports, applicable APHIS import conditions, and the duty treatment under tariff schedules.
Five-digit NAICS data on cattle production helps analysts estimate domestic supply availability, which in turn informs projections for live cattle and beef import demand. USDA's Cattle on Feed and Livestock Slaughter reports are the primary data sources used alongside NAICS-based production figures.
