Emergency Livestock Relief Program — CFDA 10.148

Emergency livestock-relief obligations at $642.4M

USAspending.gov records $642,394,052.39 in obligations under CFDA 10.148. Two hundred twenty-three thousand three hundred eighty-two awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $2,876 per award — far smaller than a typical state grant and consistent with producer-level relief payments. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical ranch budget or a per-head indemnity.

The assistance-listing title is EMERGENCY LIVESTOCK RELIEF PROGRAM. CFDA 10.148 is the identifier. Other USDA livestock-disaster listings tagged under different CFDA numbers — including forage-disaster codes — are not mixed into the $642.4M. Combining those codes would invent a combined livestock-relief total this packet does not contain.

223,382 awards and a 0 recipient field

The packet reports recipientCount as 0. That is not a claim that nobody received emergency livestock relief; it is a gap in the organizational recipient field on this extract. With 223,382 award rows, the file is built at producer scale. Do not invent a recipient headcount. Quote the 0 as the indexed field, then read award count and dollars.

Forty-seven states in the geographic count is a wide map with a handful of jurisdictions uncoded or absent. Relief dollars follow livestock geography as coded, not a 50-state equal share. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award count is not a herd count

Among USDA disaster listings, 10.148 is an outlier for volume: 223,382 rows. Payment-year rows and multiple claims can inflate award count relative to unique producers. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of ranches.” Recipients are not available on this packet; awards (223,382) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report head of livestock, feed costs, or drought severity. Citing 223,382 as cattle would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, states — and a blank recipient field.

Obligations versus livestock-relief outlays

The $642.4M is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Emergency Livestock Relief awards — are not in the packet. A producer can show an obligated row while a payment follows a later processing date. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 10.148 to size this Emergency Livestock Relief Program listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a Livestock Forage Disaster, ELAP, or crop-insurance dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 10.148.

What the 10.148 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a drought map, not a herd inventory, and not a producer directory. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $642,394,052.39. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 223,382 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 47 states is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares. The 0 recipient count is an extract field, not a finding that payments had no payees.

Emergency Livestock Relief’s 47-state map and 223,382 award rows together describe a producer-scale payment book with a blank recipient field. A researcher comparing 10.148 with Livestock Forage Disaster or ELAP codes should keep CFDA numbers separate. The $642.4M stock is the USAspending obligation book for this listing only.

Where the 10.148 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 10.148 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other USDA listings. For 10.148 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 10.148’s 223,382 awards spread $642,394,052.39 across 47 states with a blank recipient field. Quote award count as a record count and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About $2,876 per award is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.

Herd counts, feed days, and drought severity live in other USDA disaster series. Those rows are outside $642,394,052.39 unless they share CFDA 10.148. Quote 223,382 as assistance records, 0 as the indexed recipient field, and 47 as the geographic count.

Questions

How much is obligated for emergency livestock relief?

USAspending.gov records $642.4M in obligations for CFDA 10.148. SpendingVault indexes 223,382 awards, a recipient count of 0, and 47 states. The figure is an obligation sum from assistance awards, not an outlay and not a herd count. CFDA 10.148’s $642,394,052.39 is the USAspending obligation stock.

How many awards does CFDA 10.148 carry?

The listing shows 223,382 awards. A simple average is about $2,876 per award. Award count is not a count of ranches or cattle. The recipient field on this extract is 0; do not invent a producer headcount. Award dollars are on the program page.

Why does Emergency Livestock Relief show 0 recipients?

The packet reports recipientCount as 0. That is a gap in the organizational recipient field on a 223,382-row producer-scale file, not a finding that nobody was paid. Geographic coding still covers 47 states. The extract does not name producers or publish herd counts.

Is $642.4M already paid to livestock producers?

Not necessarily. Obligations are commitments. Outlays are payments. CFDA 10.148’s indexed total is the obligation stock from USAspending.gov. This page does not report cash drawn, remaining balances, or head of livestock. The $642,394,052.39 on 223,382 awards is the obligation figure.
