The news came from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA-FAS) in a report which also states that the production of meat will increase Mexico City 1.6% by weight. Just to encourage the growth of the cattle population, they will be imported especially suckler and milk cows, while heifers and bulls will be preserved. Slaughtering in line with the last two years: just under 6 million head. 2016 saw growing contributions from Canada with 3.1 million heads (+ 2.4%), with a stable calf and cow an increase of 1.7%.
