Mike, you know we are a little slow over here in Mississippi, so there is something I don't understand...

All cows and calves in the USA increased by 1,200,000
All cow and heifers that calved increased by 200,000
Add the calves to the increased cows and that's 400,000
Where did the other 800,000 increase come?
