A DETAILED SECTOR ANALYSIS OF THE HOLSTEIN BEEF MARKETBurdine, Kenneth H. 01 January 2003 (has links)
The Holstein beef sector is a fascinating and integral part of the United States beefsystem; however, it has been largely overlooked in academic research. Holstein beef has longsuffered from perceptions that it is of poor quality. Recent changes in slaughter industrystructure, marketing systems, and production models have made the Holstein systemunbelievably complex. Coupled with econometric modeling, this sector analysis uses a semistructuredinterview approach to evaluate the reality of these perceptions, the impact of thesechanges, and to determine what truly drives the Holstein beef market. Results suggest that manyof the perceptions of Holstein beef are inaccurate; the market for Holstein steers was found to bequite similar to the market for native steers. Recent changes in production systems appear tohave been driven by changes in market preferences. Finally, the driving forces behind theHolstein market are not that different from the driving factors in the native cattle market,although some of the impacts were found to be different.

CHARACTERISTICS OF BEEF CATTLE THAT DETERMINE THE PRICE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRADITIONAL AND CPH SALESLunsford, Terry L. 01 January 2005 (has links)
Cattle producers are faced with difficult decisions on how they market theircalves. This study examines the different characteristics that play a role in determiningthe price of a group of animals. Identifying characteristics that determine pricedifferentials relative to the price premium given to producers participating in CPH salesis important information when producers are making a marketing decision. The modeldeveloped in this study provides producers with evidence of what characteristics generatethe highest price, as well as relative differences between sales locations and types ofsales. The more information available to producers, the better equipped they are to makedecisions.

KENTUCKY FEEDER CATTLE PRICE ANALYSIS: MODELS FOR PRICE PREDICTIONS AND GRAZING MANAGEMENTEldridge, Roger Wayne 01 January 2005 (has links)
Kentucky plays an important role in the complex U.S. beef cattle industry. Thisstudy focused on the feeder cattle production sector of Kentucky's beef cattle industry.Primarily a cow-calf state with a substantial backgrounding sector, Kentucky is a largesupplier of feeder cattle to the cattle finishing sector. Price relationships within themarket for Kentucky feeder cattle were examined using historical price data fromKentucky livestock auction markets. This research revealed many interesting pricerelationships that Kentucky producers may use in order to increase the profitability of thecow-calf and/or backgrounding operations. A segment of this research includes aGrazing Management Decision Tool which was constructed to enable producers toevaluate the potential profitability of various grazing scenarios using current marketforecasts.

Factors influencing market access and livestock marketing inefficiency in Mpumalanga Province, South AfricaSehar, Malika 01 1900 (has links)
Livestock production is the primary financial resource for most farmers in Mpumalanga
province. Although commercial farmers require necessary equipment and technology to
maximise their production and profit, but emerging small-scale farmers in the province face
many challenges which have hindered their efforts to improve their livelihood, besides
intervening in the procedure of commercialisation. Therefore, this study investigates the
socioeconomic characteristics of the livestock farmers in the province, the determinants of
market access and those influencing marketing inefficiency, with a view to developing policy
recommendations.
Structured questionnaire was administered to 300 farmers in order to capture information on
market access and factors that could influence marketing inefficiency. Descriptive statistics
was utilised regarding basic characteristics of the households. A logit regression model was
used to analyse market access (sale of livestock through formal markets) using STATA.
Marketing inefficiency was computed as the reciprocal of marketing efficiency which was
calculated using Shepherd formula, while the two stage Least Square regression was applied
for factors influencing marketing inefficiency after identifying market access endogenous
variable.
The study’s extrapolations indicated that 7 variables were consequential at 1% and 5%
significance level with market access, namely transport ownership, transport cost, market
price information, advertisement, farmers’ perception, marketing channel used and
municipality. In addition, the results of the two stage least square model indicated that only 3
variables had remarkable significance with regard to marketing inefficiency. These are market
access, livestock composition and infrastructure.
The findings of the study evidenced that to reduce marketing inefficiency, then it is
paramount to enable the easy dissemination of information and improving infrastructure so as
to give small-scale farmers easy access to the markets. Consequently, addressing marketing
constraints will provide an insight that will allow development of strategies to deal with those
problems correctly and more efficiently. The study recommended that focus should be centred
on addressing the constraints existing in livestock marketing system to enhance access to
markets by encouraging youth participation in agricultural activities and providing training
programmes and easy access for marketing related information. Also, infrastructure deserves
to be given more attention by renovating the marketing facilities especially road networks in
rural areas. In addition, extension officers and veterinary services are to provide help and
support in preventing infections and diseases in order to minimise the losses. / Agriculture, Animal Health and Human Ecology / M. Sc. (Agriculture)
