Erin R. Davis makes maps and other data visualizations that explain our world. Recently, she gathered statistics from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to show <a href="https://erdavis.com/2022/06/21/where-is-there-more-livestock-than-people/" alt="which counties in the 48 contiguous states have more livestock animals than people" class="on">which counties in the 48 contiguous states have more livestock animals than people</a> and which animals were present.

The main map shows cows, chickens, and pigs. But she goes into a lot more detail, providing maps for, specifically, cattle, turkeys, chickens, goats, pigs, and sheep. If you live in the South, then I have bad news for you about the upcoming chicken uprising.

The goats map is notable. It appears that goat herding occurs primarily in the Big Bend area of Texas.-via <a href="https://flowingdata.com/2022/07/11/where-there-is-more-livestock-than-people-in-the-united-states/">Flowing Data</a>#maps #livestock #ErinRDavis
