Economic and Operational Characteristics of Arizona and New Mexico Range Cattle Ranches

Excerpts from the report: The objectives of this report are: (1) To present the cost, income, and investment of typical ranches in the Southern Intermountain and Southern Desert Ranching Areas as of 1960, and (2) to evaluate the effect of changes in costs, prices, and range forage supplies on the net income of these ranches. The investment, cost, and ranch organizational data used in developing representative ranch budgets were obtained from interviews with about 140 ranchers in the two ranching areas. These data were supplemented with additional data from other research, and from Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management records. Representative ranch budgets were developed for cattle ranches holding both a Forest Service and a Bureau of Land Management permit, and for cattle ranches with either a Forest Service or a Bureau of Land Management permit

Structural Characteristics of Beef Cattle Raising in the United States

This report describes the four cattle raising systems used in five regions identified in the United States in 1976. The systems identified in the West, Southwest, Southeast, Great Plains, and North Central regions--the cow-calf system, cow-calf-slaughter system, the stocker purchase-slaughter system, and the stocker purchase-feeder sales system--accounted for 70, 9, 8, and 4 percent, respectively, of the cattle raising systems used in all regions

Beef Cattle Raising Systems in the United States

Excerpts from the paper: This report identifies the size distributions of beef cattle herds, major forage grazed, and cattle systems used, as well as other structural characteristics of feeder cattle and nonfed slaughter cattle production in the major cattle raising areas of the United States. More specific objectives are to: 1) Identify subregions of the country that are relatively homogeneous in terms of basic resources, including climate, topography, soils, and vegetation, but also in terms of beef cattle and forage production techniques, management practices, and herd size distributions. 2) Identify the various cattle raising systems used in each area, including those used to produce stockers, feeders, and slaughter cattle. Included in these system identifications are the kinds and amounts of forage grazed, seasons of use, supplemental feeding practices, and timing of production. 3) Determine the proportion of all beef cattle raisers and total beef cattle raised for each system identified
