112420

Analysis

NAICS 112420 is the 2022 national industry for goat farming, part of 11242 (Goat Farming). Census lists 5 example activities under it in the official index.

Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include angora goat farming, dairy goat farming, goat farming (e.g., meat, milk, mohair production) and milking dairy goat, among 5 in all.

Its goods appear in 8 statistical lines of the US tariff schedule, mostly under headings 5102 (fine or coarse animal hair, not carded or combed) and 0104 (live sheep and goats). That link is how import data is matched to domestic producers, for example in trade-remedy cases.

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.
