Livestock Farm

I have been having a terrible time trying to find out what percentage of the soy and corn crops grown in the U.S. are fed to livestock each year.
Does anyone have a direction for me to head in? Does anyone know where I can find this information?
Also, I need this information for an article I’m writing. People think that bio-fuels are the main reason we are in a food crisis? Try again. It’s because of our largely meat and dairy based diets.
Thanks, I hope someone can help me!

Could someone describe the process of showing livestock (calves in particular) from the time you buy the cow until the day you sell it? I’d love some details about what really goes on during a show. Do judges just look at the cow and judge it? Or do the handlers walk it around a ring, etc., like at dog shows? What criteria are handlers and their animals judged on? I’d love to hear as much info as you can give me. Thank you!

Someone said, the vaccines/injections given to poultry chicks (which are about to lay eggs) will directly passes into the amatured eggs inside the bird’s stomach. If consuming such poultry eggs, after a long years those vaccines/injected madicines shows negative results on us. Is this really correct? And also I want to know if there are any tests for findng best eggs before making them to cook. Also what is the best process of cooking (boiled, raw, fried dough etc.) eggs?

I want to keep some livestock (chickens to be exact) but I dont know if I can do to my zoning. I’ve looked on the state website for this info but I cant find it. Does anyone know where I can find it? Thanks.
