    1. Due to confidentiality constraints, the data for one or more adjacent geographic areas having very few farms have been combined with the data from this census consolidated subdivision or census division. For the names of the geographic areas included in this amalgamation and the number of farms in them, click on Geographic area amalgamations.

    2. Due to response errors in 1996, the number of dairy cows and the number of farms reporting dairy cows may have been overstated, whereas the number of beef cows and the number of farms reporting beef cows may have been understated. The total number of cattle and calves, however, was not affected. These errors limit the comparability of the data between 1996 and 2001. Response errors were more prevalent in provinces with a low proportion of dairy operations.
