Analysis

NAICS 112120 is the 2022 national industry for dairy cattle and milk production, part of 11212 (Dairy Cattle and Milk Production). Census lists 3 example activities under it in the official index.

Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include dairy cattle farming, milk production, dairy cattle and milking dairy cattle.

For example, raising dairy herd replacements are classified in 112111 (Beef Cattle Ranching and Farming) instead.

Census lists 2 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 112111 and 112420. Businesses that do several things are classified by their primary activity, the one that generates the most value, so check those boundaries before settling on this code.

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.
