Watershed-specific animal information was provided by the McDonough County
NRCS office. Estimates of the location and number of livestock for each animal
operation were obtained. This information is summarized in Table 5-21. As shown in
the table, it is estimated that there are 36 animal operations in McDonough County
within the East Fork La Moine River/Spring Lake Watershed. Over half of the
operations are cattle operations. With the exception of one dairy, all of the cattle
operations are beef farms.
