Answer 1

"The St. Lawrence Valley is the state's leading cattle-raising region, followed by the Mohawk Valley and Wyoming County, in western New York. The poultry industry is more widely dispersed. In 2003, an estimated 1.46 million cattle and calves were worth around $1.39 billion. There were an estimated 86,000 hogs and pigs, worth $6 million in 2002. During 2001, around 11 million lb (5 million kg) of chickens were produced, worth $11 million, and 11.1 million lb (5 million kg) of turkey, worth $4.5 million.

New York is a leading dairy state. In 2001, New York was 3rd in the US in milk production with 11.8 million lb (5.3 million kg) of milk from 672,000 milk cows.

Also during 2001, New York farmers produced around 3.8 million lb (1.7 million kg) of sheep and lambs, which brought in around $3.7 million in gross income. The state produced around 1.14 billion eggs, valued at $54 million in 2001. Duck raising is an industry of local importance on Long Island."
