Was the seventh US Cavalry Regiment at full strength at the battle of the little bighorn?
Yes, as far as I know, it was. However, Custer may have made a grave mistake in dividing the regiment into thirds and spreading them over such a great distance. Also, the Gatling Guns which Custer refused could have traveled with Benteen's detachment which was slowed by the supply train anyway. There are many factors which contributed to the defeat at Little Big Horn, but I have never read anything about the 7th being understrength at the time of the battle.
======================================================
Answer: At full strength a US cavalry regiment in 1876 should have numbered 12 companies, each of 60 men = 720. In fact the companies of the 7th each had between 38 and 44 men present at the Little Bighorn so the regiment fought the campaign very badly understrength. This was largely due to desertions and sickness.
In 1891 the US adjutant general reported that between 1867 and 1890, out of 255,712 recruits into the US cavalry 88,475 men deserted - a rate of about 33%.

Why is Little Big Horn famous?
Little Big Horn is famous for the battle with Sitting Bull and General Custer.
At the Battle of the Little Big Horn, on June 25-26, 1876, the US 7th Cavalry suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of a superior force of Native American tribes, mainly the Sioux.
The Sioux, or Lakota, tribes were the main indian tribes contending, but there were approximately 450-500 Cheyenne warriors as well, and a few Arapaho. The total indian warrior force has been variously estimated to be as low as 2300, and as high as 12000. Most experts agree it was no less than 3000 warriors or more.
