Analysis
NAICS 1121 is the 2022 industry group for cattle ranching and farming, part of 112 (Animal Production and Aquaculture). Census lists 17 example activities under it in the official index.
Across its national industries Census lists 17 index entries; typical ones are backgrounding, cattle, beef cattle feedlots (except stockyards for transportation) and dairy cattle farming.
Its more detailed codes are 11211 Beef Cattle Ranching and Farming, including Feedlots, 11212 Dairy Cattle and Milk Production and 11213 Dual-Purpose Cattle Ranching and Farming.
County Business Patterns does not cover crop and animal production, so there is no establishment count for it; farms are counted by the Census of Agriculture instead.
