Abstract

As the quality attributes that consumers’ demand from animal-based food products have expanded, ranchers have responded by marketing their cattle with an increasingly diverse array of value-added management programs. Yet, the additional revenue generated by producing cattle tagged with these programs is uncertain and highly variable. This paper analyzes the premiums/discounts associated with the most common programs utilized by ranchers in 2018.
