Animals make up a significant part of America's agricultural trade. The United States is a world leader in both the export and import of animal products. Cattle, beef, and dairy are largely produced for national consumption while a portion of poultry and pork products are exported to countries like Japan, Russia and Mexico. Specialty livestock such as Emu and Bison are growing in popularity with American farmers.
