Abstract
The reason for the failure of individual carcass-based pricing systems to supplant average-price-based pricing systems in the cash market for fed cattle remains unresolved. Competing hypotheses in the literature associated with this issue are empirically tested using survey data collected on the marketing behavior of cattle producers.
