Capital Investment Requirements For A 500, 1,000 And 10,000 Head Cattle Feedlot, Robert Allen, Myron Eighmy, David Jibben

Economics Research Reports

The purpose of this study is to figure the fixed costs of constructing and equipping a 500, 1,000 or 10,000 cattle feedlot given certain assumptions and restrictions, and to analyze those costs in terms of economic efficiency. The fixed costs are divided into six areas of analysis: the equipment of the feedlot, the pole buildings, the concrete flooring for the pole buildings, the feedlot building materials, the feedlot storage equipment and the waste disposal.

Labor Requirements In Beef Cow Herds, Herbert R. Allen, David Jibben

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

The cattle producer attempts to allocate and use scarce resources so as to maximize profits. Efficient use of labor is an important factor of production. It normally serves to lower production costs which frequently results in greater profits. The following report attempts to quantify the number of annual man hours necessary for different levels of efficiency in labor use with beef cow herds. Furthermore, this report figures the monthly percentages of total annual labor required at average efficiency for five different sizes of beef cow herds. Data for this report have been obtained from a survey of 160 farmers and …
