*The total number of horses and mules minus twice the number of yearlin; 
horses and mules leayes approximately the number of work animals. 
fThe total value of horses and mules divided by the total number of horse 
units and mule units (one mature animal or two yearlings) gives approximately 
the value of one work animal. This value per head multiplied by the number 
of work animals gives the approximate value of all work animals.
