Analysis
NAICS 112130 is the 2022 national industry for dual-purpose cattle ranching and farming, part of 11213 (Dual-Purpose Cattle Ranching and Farming).
Census lists 3 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 112120, 11211 and 488999. 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.
For example, milking dairy cattle are classified in 112120 (Dairy Cattle and Milk Production) instead.
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.
Official definition
This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in raising cattle for both milking and meat production.
