Author: I have to write an essay about the negative effects of animal agriculture but I have to be specific (geographically).
What state has the largest animal agriculture in the US?

Thank you.

It depends on the type of animal.
According to the Cattle Network, the state with the most cattle ranches is Texas, which has over twice as many head of cattle as number 2- Kansas.
The states which kill the most pigs are Iowa and North Carolina.
North Carolina, Minnesota and California kill the most turkeys.
Alabama, Arkansas and Georgia kill the most chickens.

I have no idea which state or area you are searching for. I would suggest that you try to google for accurate answers. This forum is likely to provide you with vastly skewed answers.

No one on here is going to have a clue about any type of farming. I’ve seen the answer to many questions and most a very inaccurate. As Wahoo said, Google what you want to know. You will get more information than you need.
