Where does the number of young stock exceed the dairy cows?

Compared to other European countries, the Netherlands has a fairly generous young stock position. On average there are 100 young cattle per 75,4 dairy cows, but are there also municipalities with more young cattle than dairy cows? The answer gives the CBS. 

In total there are 15 municipalities where the number of young stock exceeds the number of cows. With dot on a state Arnhem. In this Gelderland municipality there are 100 young cattle per 124,6 dairy cows. A municipality from Gelderland also comes in second. That's where Wageningen pops up. CBS records 100 young cattle per 111,1 dairy cows. 

The number 3 is a lot further south. This is Breda (North Brabant), where 100 young cattle are counted per 111,1 dairy cows. With which Wageningen and Breda actually count the same number and therefore have to share the second and third place.

Hoogezand-Sappemeer (Groningen) comes in fourth. There are 100 young cattle per 110,6 dairy cows. The top 5 is concluded by the municipality of Binnenmaas, South Holland. With a number of 110,5 successful young stock for every 100 cows, this number is still well above 100.
