Since I didn’t even think of Wisconsin for cows (d’oh!) thought I’d check and see which state has the most cattle:

```auto

       **State Head Percent Of U.S.**
1 Texas 13,800,000 14.28%
2 Kansas 6,700,000 6.93%
3 Nebraska 6,550,000 6.78%
4 California 5,450,000 5.64%
5 Oklahoma 5,400,000 5.59%
6 Missouri 4,300,000 4.45%
7 Iowa 4,000,000 4.14%
8 South Dakota 3,700,000 3.83%
9 Wisconsin 3,400,000 3.52%
10 Colorado 2,750,000 2.84%

```
