Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beef cow-calf production in the United States is widespread, occurring in every State. Nearly 765,000 farms, about 35 percent of the 2.2 million farms in the United States, had a beef cow inventory in 2007. Most of these were small, part-time operations. About a third of farms that raise beef animals had a beef cow inventory of less than 10 cows, more than half had fewer than 20 cows, and nearly 80 percent had fewer than 50 cows. In this study, ERS uses data from USDA's 2008 Agricultural Resource Management Survey for U.S. beef cow-calf operations to examine the structure, costs, and characteristics of beef cow-calf producers. Many small operations are "rural residence farms" that specialize in beef cow-calf production, but their income from off-farm sources exceeds that from the farm. Most beef cow-calf production occurs on large farms, but cow-calf production is not the primary enterprise on many of these farms. Findings suggest that operators of beef cow-calf farms have a diverse set of goals for the cattle enterprise.

Book excerpt: Considerable risk is present in today's ranching world; especially price and production risk. A producer who can tolerate more risk, and is knowledgeable about how to effectively manage price and production risk, may have opportunity to increase profitability relative to a highly risk averse producer. The purpose of this study is to investigate perceptions and sources of risk, identify how risk management is conducted, assess price and production risks, and view differences between producers' perceptions versus their attitudes towards risk and factors that affect risk. In order to investigate cow-calf producers' perceptions of risk, an instrument was created to survey beef cow-calf producers in the Kansas Farm Management Association (KFMA). Respondents provided information on their production practices, marketing methods, operating decisions and risk related to their cow-calf operations. A risk preference score for individual producers was developed from specific survey questions to determine three objectives: to classify producers' risk preferences related to their operating decisions; determine operating decisions that affect risk preferences; and identify what production and marketing practices in which producers were willing to risk for a chance to increase the net returns to their operations. A bi-directional causality between risk aversion and operation characteristics was illustrated between how operating decisions are related to risk aversion, and risk aversion is related to operating decisions. Factors that were found to influence risk aversion were socioeconomic factors such as age, off-farm income, debt-to-asset ratio, farm size, and number of cows owned, as well as comparative advantages of producer's: use and analysis of new technology, business planning skills and marketing skills. Models showing how risk aversion was related to production management focused on producer's financial soundness, production practices and marketing methods, specific to retained ownership. Producers who would participate in value-added programs to increase returns to their operation have a comparative advantage in marketing skills, own more cattle, and are less diversified in terms of their farm enterprise incomes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The beef cattle sector has been, and continues to be, the single largest sector in the Kansas agriculture industry, with cattle and calves generating $8.27 billion in cash receipts in 2017 (KDA 2018). In 2017, Kansas produced nearly 5.69 billion pounds of red meat, or nearly 11 percent of the nation's total (KDA 2018). According to estimates prepared by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, beef cattle farming and ranching has a direct output of approximately $6.3 billion. The cow-calf sector is the beginning of the beef industry; therefore, understanding the factors influencing profitability, efficiency, and structure is very important. The objective of this study is to examine the efficiency of beef cow-calf production in Kansas. Technical, allocative, and scale efficiencies of cow-calf operations are estimated, as well as, analysis on the relationship between input costs and efficiency and profitability and efficiency. Beef cow-calf operations vary considerably in size, available resources, profitability, and the use of technology. The variability in profitability suggests room to improve both production and financial management practices. In addition to estimating efficiency measures of cow-calf operations, the study identifies how marketing strategies (selling calves vs. selling feeders) impacts efficiency. This study contributes to the existing literature by estimating efficiencies for cow-calf producers and identifying production characteristics that impact efficiencies, in addition to, introducing the use of super-efficiency in the cow-calf industry segment. The nonparametric Data Envelopment Analysis approach, along with regression analysis, is used to determine how marketing strategies and production characteristics are correlated with efficiency and profitability. The Kansas Farm Management Association data are used in this analysis with cow-calf producers analyzed in two groups based on their marketing strategy (sells calves or sells feeders). Three years of whole-farm and enterprise data are included in the study, with a total of 240 producers selling calves and 264 producers selling feeders between 2018 and 2020. An input orientation is applied including feed, labor, utilities, and veterinary costs. Output is defined as the gross farm income (in dollars). Producers selling feeders were more technically efficient than those selling calves in both 2018 and 2019; however, in 2020, those that sold calves were slightly more technically efficient on average (0.840) than those that sell feeders (0.830). Technical efficiency was relatively more important than scale and allocative efficiency for both marketing strategies across almost all years (one exception in 2020, with producers marketing calves, where the allocative efficiency correlation coefficient was higher than technical). Technical efficiency was relatively more important in explaining profitability than either allocative or scale efficiency. Regressions indicated that a 0.10 increase in pure technical efficiency increases net income per cow by $96. A 0.10 increase in allocative and scale efficiencies increases net income per cow by $48 and $97, respectively. This suggests that producers that are experiencing low (or negative) levels of profitability should concentrate on adjusting the size of their herd relative to reducing input use per unit of output. Labor costs had the most impact on technical and allocative efficiency, while feed costs had the greatest impact on scale efficiency. Suggesting that producers wanting to impact their efficiency should focus on feed and labor costs.
