Description

Changes have occurred in recent years which have produced changes in the beef industry. Structural relationships that existed for the producer-feeder are not necessarily important in the operation of the cow-calf operator or the feed-lot operator. Because of these changes, a more thorough knowledge of the supply response of a small regional breakdown of the beef cattle industry should be available to farmers, econmists, outlook workers and policy makers in the agricultural industry.
