Full textAbstract:
The Drakensberger is a medium-framed black cattle breed indigenous to South Africa.
The breed is concentrated mainly in Mpumalanga, the Eastern Free State and Kwazulu Natal. The breed fares well in key requirements for successful cattle farming. The North West Province and Northern Free State are some of the major cattle producing areas in South Africa. The Drakensberger does not enjoy a large market share in the region, at around 5-10%. The reasons for this lack of popularity of the breed are not evident.
The study aims to establish why the breed in the region does not have the market share it seemingly deserves. Farmers are resistant to farm with the breed despite its good qualities. A literature review was performed to gain background on the cattle industry. Some breeds, their attributes and reasons for being successful, were explored. The Drakensberger was researched in detail, examining the breed’s potential. From literature it was evident that the breed has no fatal flaws and even outperforms certain breeds in some aspects. The current positioning of the breed in the market was described. A questionnaire was designed in order to determine which cattle breeds respondents prefer, why they prefer these breeds, what the sentiment of respondents in the region is towards the Drakensberger and reasons for the sentiments. A sample was selected and the questionnaires were completed through personal interviews. The areas covered were in the North West and Northern Free State.
From the responses it was established that almost 50% of respondents farm with Bonsmara and Simmentaler breeds. The Drakensberger did not feature highly. It was found that farmers prefer the breeds due to hardiness, fertility, weaning weight and the colour of the breed. The Drakensberger is not a very popular breed and not well known. The main reasons for farmers not choosing the breed are based on a lack of information, perceptions that the black breed is more sensitive towards heat and that farmers preferred cattle. Respondents indicated being somewhat aware of evidence dispelling perceptions around the breed and indicated that the research is valuable to an extent. It was concluded that the Drakensberger is not reaching its potential in the region due to the black colour of the breed and due to a lack of quality information of the breed. It is recommended that a focused information and promotion campaign be launched in order to improve the image of the breed and to increase market share.Thesis (M.B.A.)--North-West University, Vaal Triangle Campus, 2010.

Full textAbstract:
The main objective of this study was to evaluate alternative marketing strategies involving options on live cattle futures contracts during the period of 1966-85. To predict the option premiums that would have occurred at various points in this period of time, the study did research on market premiums of options on live cattle futures contracts from October 30, 1984, to November 22, 1985. The research showed that actual premiums conform closely to the premiums estimated by the Black model of option pricing. The generalized stochastic dominance with absolute risk aversion function intervals is demonstrated in the study in order to make the evaluation. The results showed that under different risk preferences, the commodity options provide the dominant alternative for cattle producers. Options provided protection from losses resulting from falling cash price and in some cases raised average income of hedgers.

Full textAbstract:
The Virginia Beef Cattle Simulation Model (VBCSM) is a user-friendly, dynamic, stochastic computer program whose objective is to serve as a decision-aid for Virginia cattlemen dealing with complex management issues such as whether to retain weaned calves through the stocker growth stage. Its five source-code modules are reproduction, forage, nutrition, marketing, and a tool that randomly assigns values to variables from appropriate statistical distributions. The VBCSM contains production statistics for 12 breeds, 21 forage species, and three Virginia agro-ecological zones. It simulates at the animal level using information obtained from program dialog. Help can be activated on each dialog page. It is event-driven on a daily time increment. The reproduction module simulates puberty, conception, abortion, parturition, dystocia, lactation, pregnancy testing, culling, within-herd replacement female selection, open or pregnant replacement female purchases, cow and calf mortality, and weaning. The forage module simulates daily pasture growth dependent upon month, precipitation, erosion, pasture maintenance, grazing system, farm location, weed infestation, and slope. This module interacts with the nutrition module to calculate each animalâ s forage intake, supplemental feed requirements, and daily gain or loss using National Research Council equations. The marketing routine sells the weanling calves to the stocker herd and sells stocker calves, orphan calves, and cull cows through user-specified markets, including the Virginia Tel-O-Market auction. After simulating for eight years to achieve equilibrium conditions, the VBCSM provides an income statement for the cow-calf operation and a partial budget for net income or loss from the stocker herd for up to three years. VBCSM was rigorously tested using a mathematical model with two calving seasons, three lengths of breeding season, four culling policies, and a year effect. Descriptive statistics suggest that the program code works in a consistent manner. However, several potential programming inconsistencies were discovered. Simulation results indicate that fall calving may be more profitable for Virginia cattle producers than spring calving for weanling calf production, but a spring calved stocker program may be more profitable that a fall calved stocker program. Perhaps, VBCSM will help cattlemen to enhance their profits by more efficient market planning and utilization of production resources.Ph. D.

Dickamore, Justin Edward. "Price Slides Within Cattle Markets Over Time and Space." DigitalCommons@USU, 2015. https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/4606.
Full textAbstract:
The production of cattle in the United State is a very large business. Production begins at the cow-calf level, where a calf is born and raised to a specific weight. This weight is the weaning weight and averages between 300-600 pounds. The calf is then typically shipped to a feedlot, where it is fed a high corn ration which increases the weight of animal quickly and cost effectively to reach a sufficient slaughter weight. Cattle production takes place primarily in 5 different geographical locations which include the North Central, Southeast, Northern Plains, Southern Plains, and West regions. Due to the relationships between fed cattle prices, feeder cattle prices and feed costs, lighter weight feeder cattle typically sell for a higher price per pound than heavier weight feeder cattle. This decrease in price per pound for heavier feeders is often referred to as a feeder cattle price slide. This study is to determine how price slides have reacted over time and space due to the relative changes in fed and feeder cattle prices and the cost of feed.
Weekly data was obtained from the Livestock Marketing Information Center (LMIC) on the auction price for feeder cattle at different weights for both steers and heifers. Weekly data on the futures price of live cattle and corn were also obtained from the LMIC.
To determine if feeder cattle price slides had changed over time, regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between feeder cattle prices at varying weights with the price of fed cattle and the price of corn. Two different time periods were used for the same location: the first period was from 1992 to 1996 and the second period was from 2005 to 2015. Price slides were also examined across space. There were five different geographical locations analyzed: Oklahoma, Nebraska, Georgia, Kansas, and Montana. Each region was regressed individually and then compared. Prices slides were calculated as the difference in the regressed feeder cattle price at each weight. A combination of the time and space was used to evaluate changes in the same model.
Results from the regression models returned feeder cattle prices at varying weights for steers and heifers and price slides were calculated from those estimated prices. It was found that price slides are not constant over time and that price slides are geographically specific. In the third objective, it is shown that time and space are both factors in determining price slides for feeder cattle.
The implications of this study are to help cattle producers be more aware of market conditions specific to changes in feeding cost. It is also to make aware that price slides are not constant over time and space and therefore, must be reevaluated on a consistent basis.

Full textAbstract:
Explanatory feeder cattle basis models were developed for 16 different Virginia markets by season, futures contract month, weight, lot size, sex, breed and USDA grade differentials. The models are more disaggregated and explain up to 80 percent more of feeder cattle basis variation than any previous research. Since the variables in these explanatory models are all known in advance, these basis models are also predictive. Basis estimates from these models make it possible for a Virginia feeder cattle forward pricing agency to offer forward price and minimum price contracts to small size operators.

Full textAbstract:
Kentucky plays a vital role in the beef supply chain. The cow/calf producers,back-grounding operations, and order buying industry are important parts of Kentucky'sagricultural economy. Basis risk is an issue that affects these groups in a negative way. Agood estimate of the expected basis must be available to make hedging efficient.Simulations were performed on Kentucky price data to determine the effectiveness ofshort hedging for Kentucky producers. A model was also used to describe some of thefactors that determine basis levels. The research revealed that it is difficult to predictbasis within an acceptable range to make short hedging with futures efficient. Eventhough short hedging reduced variability in net price, it was difficult to lock in a profit.Various options and spread strategies were presented as alternative hedging tools thatwould protect cattle producers from unexpected price declines.

Full textAbstract:
Perception plays an important role in the human assessment process. This construction of an image is based on many factors, including race, religion, national origin, income, gender, marital status - in short, the summation of our life experiences. An important consideration for the methodology consumers utilize for purchase decisions has been also referred to as the "Country of Origin" (COO) effect. This individual bias based on perceptions and attitudes has a significant impact on how consumers make their purchasing decisions.
The 2008 Farm Bill legislation contained a requirement for country of origin labeling (COOL) for beef, lamb, pork, and other products. This paper examined some of the 2008 Farm Bill's impact on consumer's purchasing decisions regarding beef and related meat protein products. Of a potential population of over 700 respondents, 161 responses were received. Correspondence analysis and preferences indicated by the respondents were used to analyze the results.
Respondents were mostly well educated, white, in higher income brackets, and split about 60%-40% between male and female. Food safety is considered important and respondents generally believe that the US food supply is safe. Over 40% of respondents had no knowledge of COOL and its background, but about 70% of respondents believed that COOL should be mandatory for all meat products studied. The majority of respondents (111 of 161) indicated that they would be willing to pay $0.25 to $1.00 per pound more for COOL. However when asked about the likeliness to pay, 25%-30% indicated that they were "Not at all Likely" or "Somewhat Likely" to pay.
The correspondence analysis results indicated that beef was a product eaten more often, but considered expensive. Chicken was eaten more often and considered inexpensive and healthful. Turkey was a product considered healthful and inexpensive. Lamb was considered expensive, while pork was inconclusive in the two dimensions used.
The results of this study provide information for producers, purveyors, retailers, and the government on the importance of COOL as perceived by consumers, and their willingness to pay for this labeling.

Thesis (MAgricAdmin)--Stellenbosch University, 2002.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Transaction cost economics has travelled a difficult and long path to general acceptance in current economic opinion. The general theory of transaction cost has however developed in various paradigms with little or no empirical backing. It is mostly the difficulty of measurement that caused economists to shy away from empirical testing and rather, to quote Coase (1992), "to write in prose". The last 10 years there has been a renewed thrust for the empirical measurement of transaction cost. This study is an attempt to measure transaction cost by using case study data gathered in the run of the NOLIDEP study in the meat markets of the Northern Communal areas of Namibia. Until recently the method of data analysis that has been used in most empirical studies was variations of the regression technique. Regression as a tool is most useful in economics, giving quick answers and general trends to the researcher. It is however a technique that is linear in nature and therefore some information in the data will always be sacrificed. In general- and multi industry surveys this do not pose a great problem as general trends can usefully be applied in making policy recommendations. In smaller and especially rural industries this is not the case. The dynamic interactions within the industry and its dynamic linkages with the rest of the economy will surely be underrated when using a linear method. Consequently, a non-linear technique was applied in this study - the Non-linear Dynamic Model. This model gave the interactions between all variables enabling one to describe the dynamics of the market. As mentioned elsewhere the first aim of this study was to measure transaction cost so that the second aim could be fulfilled. The second aim of this study was to prove that transaction cost has an important influence on marketing channel decision. The analysis of the data satisfied the above two aims: Firstly it showed that it was possible to measure transaction cost. Secondly that transaction cost has a large and sometimes overriding influence on marketing channel decisions. A third and last point that became apparent was that a non-linear method of data analysis allows for better description of a dynamic market.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Dit het 'n lang tyd gevat vir transaksie koste om as konsep in ekonomie aanvaar te word. Die algemene teorie van transaksie koste het egter ontwikkel binne verskeie paradigmas sonder werklike empiriese ondersteuning. Dit is meestal die meting van transaksie koste wat empiriese werk in die rigting belemmer het. Daar is egter in die laaste 10 jaar hernude pogings gewees om transaksie koste empiries te meet. Hierdie studie is 'n poging om transaksie koste te meet deur gebruik te maak van data wat verkry is gedurende die NOLIDEP studie in die noordelike kommunale gebiede van Namibia. Tot onlangs was die metode van data analise vir empiriese studies variasies op die regressie tegniek. As 'n hulpmiddel is regressie baie bruikbaar in ekonomie waar vinnige antwoorde en algemene tendense verwag word. Die tegniek is egter inhirent liniêr en daarom sal daar altyd interpretasies rondom data opgeoffer word. In algemene studies is dit egter nie 'n probleem nie en kan voldoende beleids aanbevelings gedoen word. Dit is egter nie die geval in kleiner en plantelandse industriëe nie. Die dinamiese interaksies binne die industrie en die dinamiese skakels met die res van die ekonomie word dan onderskat met die gebruik van 'n liniêre metode. Daarom is 'n nie-liniêre metode gebruik, die Non-linear Dynamic Model. Die model neem die interaksie tussen veranderlikes in ag wat die beskrywing van dinamika moontlik maak. Soos reeds genoem is die eerste doel van die studie om transaksie koste te meet sodat die tweede doelwit van die studie bereik kan word. Die tweede doel is om te bewys dat transaksie koste bemarkingskanaai besluite bëinvloed. Die data analise het beide bogenoemde doelwitte bevredig. Eerstens dat transaksie koste meetbaar is. Tweedens dat transaksie koste 'n groot en selfs oorweldigende effek het op bemarkingskanaai besluite. 'n Derde punt wat sterk na vore gekom het is dat nie-liniêre metodes 'n beter beskrywing van dinamika toelaat.

Full textAbstract:
Este trabalho analisou o cenário em que está inserida a comercialização de bovinos para abate, no estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Para isto, foram utilizados dados obtidos através das Guias de Trânsito Animal (GTAs), entre os anos de 2010 (ano em que o sistema informatizado para GTAs foi implantado na Secretaria da Agricultura, Pecuária e Agronegócio - SEAPA) a 2013. Também foram utilizados dados da Declaração Anual de Rebanho, fornecidos pela SEAPA. Um dos diferenciais deste trabalho é esta fonte única, com documentos obrigatórios a todos que comercializam animais e o agrupamento por mesorregião geográfica das informações obtidas. Para o entendimento deste cenário, foram utilizadas como aporte teórico a Teoria da Localização, que considera a otimização da localização de uma firma, e a Organização Industrial, que através do Modelo E-C-D proporciona subsídios para caracterização da concentração em uma indústria. Os resultados mostraram que o número de animais abatidos é diferente entre as mesorregiões geográficas. Os matadouros-frigoríficos recebem animais para abate provenientes da mesorregião geográfica em que se estão localizados, mas também de outras mesorregiões do RS, em diferentes proporções. Nas análises, as mesorregiões geográficas Centro Oriental e Metropolitana destacaram-se pelo maior número de animais abatidos. No entanto, o rebanho nestas mesorregiões ainda não foi o suficiente para a demanda gerada pelo mercado consumidor, que está muito próximo devido as grandes cidades que compõem estas mesorregiões, como Santa Maria e Porto Alegre. A Mesorregião Sudoeste é a terceira que mais abateu animais. A quantidade abatida nesta mesorregião é composta por 74% de animais da própria mesorregião Sudoeste, porém, o seu rebanho foi uma importante fonte de animais para as demais mesorregiões. Neste cenário, o estado do RS apresentou mais de 60 mil ofertantes (pecuaristas) em 2013, e o número de demandantes (matadouros-frigoríficos) chegou a 459. O matadouro-frigorífico que mais abateu em 2010 perdeu participação de mercado até 2013, e frigoríficos menores conseguiram aumentar as suas participações, havendo uma tendência de maior equilíbrio entre as empresas. Não existe concentração na indústria de carne bovina, e as medidas de concentração analisadas mostram índices cada vez menores.This study analyzed the scenario in which the marketing of cattle for slaughter is inserted in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. For this, it was used data of Animal Transit Guides (GTAs) for slaughter since 2010 - year that these guides were made available electronically by the Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock and Agribusiness (SEAPA) - to 2013. It was also used data from Herd Annual Statement, supplied by SEAPA, which is one of the remarkable points of this paper, the unique and reliable source that was provided with a set of mandatory documents that all cattle sellers must have. Based on information that was founded, it was used the theory of location, considering the optimization of the location of a firm, and the Industrial Organization, through the S-C-P model, focusing on the structure that allows one to see if there was concentration in the industry. The Metropolitan ant Eastern Center Mesoregions are the ones that slaughter the most, having their own production as their raw material. However, these cattle are still not enough for the demand generated by the consumer market, which live close to these centers. The Southwest Mesoregion slaughters a great number of animals, with 74% of these slaughtered cattle coming from their own production and it is still an important source of animals for other Mesoregions. The number of suppliers (farmers) exceeded 60,000 in 2013, and the slaughter houses had reached 459. There is no concentration in the beef industry, and analyzed concentration measurements show dwindling numbers. The most important slaughterhouse in 2010 lost market by 2013, and smaller slaughterhouses were able to increase their holdings, with a trend towards greater balance between companies.

A produção de bezerros de corte que atenda ao mercado consumidor é de extrema importância, uma vez que existem fatores capazes de influenciar o preço dos animais durante a sua comercialização. Desta maneira, foi desenvolvido o presente trabalho com o objetivo de avaliar a variação no preço de bezerros em relação ao preço do boi gordo, bem como os efeitos do grupo genético e do sexo de bezerros sobre os preços praticados em leilões no estado de Santa Catarina (SC). Foram avaliados 33.143 animais, constituindo 3.587 lotes em 47 leilões realizados entre os anos de 2009 e 2014. Os lotes de bezerros eram separados em machos (M) e fêmeas (F) e foram classificados em cinco grupos genéticos de acordo com o biotipo racial: britânicos e seus cruzamentos (BX); continentais e seus cruzamentos (CX); cruzamento entre britânicos e continentais (BC); zebuínos e seus cruzamentos (ZX) e cruzamento entre Bos taurus taurus e Bos taurus indicus (TI). Todos os preços nominais de comercialização foram deflacionados pelo índice geral dos preços – disponibilidade interna (IGP-DI), para maio de 2014. Os dados não atenderam aos pressupostos da análise de variância, sendo então, realizada uma análise não paramétrica a partir do teste de Friedman e Kruskall-Wallis (post-hoc de Dunn) com o auxílio do software SPSS 20.0. O preço pago pelos bezerros acompanhou a variação ocorrida no preço do boi gordo, sendo que no ano de 2014 o preço do bezerro atingiu seu maior valor nominal (R$ 5,36/kg; P<0,05). Os M são comercializados a preços 7,8% superiores ao das F, porém essa diferença foi influenciada pelo ano de análise, onde a menor diferença entre sexos ocorreu nos períodos de redução no preço do boi gordo em SC (2012 e 2013). Os M pertencentes ao grupo genético ZX e TI foram os que receberam menores preços (R$ 4,49/kg e R$ 4,64/kg, respectivamente) quando comparados aos outros grupos (P<0,05). Por outro lado, as bezerras do grupo BX receberam maiores preços a partir de 2011, em comparação aos grupos CX, BC, TI e ZX (8,1, 8,5, 14,7 e 16,5%, respectivamente). Assim, conclui-se que o preço dos bezerros acompanha a variação ocorrida no preço do boi gordo. Além disso, o sexo e diferentes grupos genéticos são fatores capazes de influenciar no preço de comercialização de bezerros na região de SC. Desta forma, os fatores que afetam o preço dos bezerros podem ser ajustados através da seleção genética.The production of calves that attend consumer market is of utmost importance, as there are factors that can influence the price of animals during their marketing. This manner, it developed this study with the objective to investigate variation in calves price in relation to the price of cattle and the effects of genetic group and calves sex on prices at auctions in the state of Santa Catarina (SC). We evaluated 33.143 animals, representing 3.587 lots in 47 auctions from 2009 to 2014. The calves were classified according to genetic group: British breed or cross-breeding (BX); Continental breed or cross-breeding (CX); Zebu breed or cross-breeding (ZC); British and Continental cross-breeding (BC); Bos taurus taurus and Bos taurus indicus cross-breeding (TI). The lots were composed of male (M) and females (F) calves. Nominal sales prices were deflated for May 2014. The data did not meet the assumptions of analysis of variance and non-parametric analysis was performed from the Friedman test and Kruskal-Wallis test (post-hoc Dunn) with the SPSS 20.0 software. The years presenting low and high changes in the price of calves were similar to the variation in the price of beef cattle, and in 2014 the calf price reached its highest value (R$ 5.36; P<0.05). The M are sold at prices higher than F (average 7.8%) calves, but this difference was driven by year of analysis, where the closest approach occurred during periods of reduction in the price of live cattle in SC (2012 and 2013). The M of genetic group ZX and TI received on average lower prices (R$ 4.49 and R$ 4.64, respectively) compared to the other groups (P<0.05). On the other hand, the F heifers from BX group received higher average prices in 2011 compared to the CX group, BC, IT and ZX (8.1, 8.5, 14.7 and 16.5%, respectively). Thus, it was concluded that the price of calves accompanies the variation in the price of cattle. In addition, sex and different genetic groups are factors that impact on the market price of calves in the SC region. This way, the factors that affect the price of calves can be adjusted through genetic selection.

Mais ainda, buscou-se definir os padrões de preferências e consumo destes consumidores, em função de diferentes espécies produtoras de carnes e cortes bovinos disponíveis no mercado local. Além disso, estimar a frequência de consumo da carne bovina, local de compra e quantidade em quilogramas comprada por semana relacionando essas informações com o perfil socioeconômico dos entrevistados. Os dados foram coletados através da aplicação de 1070 questionários nos principais parques, em dois períodos dos anos de 2011 e 2012. Os questionários foram divididos em dois blocos – primeiro com perguntas relacionadas à preferência e consumo das espécies de carne e o segundo com questões específicas sobre a carne bovina. A amostragem foi realizada pelo método survey quantitativo longitudinal e explanatório. Para as comparações entre preferência e consumo de espécies de animais produtores de carnes (tipo de carne) e dos cortes de carne bovina foram realizadas por Qui-quadrado com índice de concordância de Kendall pelo software SPSS 20.0. Para comparar as médias foi realizada uma análise descritiva dos dados e uma comparação entre as médias por Kruskall-Whallis também no SPSS 20.0. Para todas as análises, foi considerando nível de significância de 0,05. Os dados encontrados corroboram para os resultados de pesquisas já realizadas em Porto Alegre nos últimos anos. A população consume e prefere majoritariamente a carne bovina, sendo sua principal substituta é a carne de frango. A carne de peixe também se faz presente nos hábitos alimentares. A compra da carne bovina foi realizada principalmente em supermercados. O nível de renda e a instrução foram os fatores que mais influenciam na decisão de compra. Os cortes bovinos mais consumidos foram à alcatra, costela, carne moída e maminha, e os preferidos foram à picanha, costela, maminha, filé mignon, e alcatra.Understanding the habits and needs of consumers is a strategic element in the supply chain, but the Brazilian meat industry still lacks researches. Therefore, this research aims to characterize the profile of beef consumers in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul – Brazil. Furthermore, it aims to define the standard of preferences and consumption of these consumers for different meats species and beef cuts available at the local market. In addition, estimate the frequency beef consumption, place of purchase and quantity in kilograms purchased for week, relating this information to the socioeconomic interviewed profile. Data were collected through the application of 1070 questionnaires in the main parks, in two periods of the years 2011 and 2012. The questionnaires were divided into two blocks - first with questions related to preference and consumption of meat species and the second with specific issues related to beef. The sampling was performed by longitudinal quantitative and explanatory survey method. To compare the preferences and consumption between meat species (type of meat) and beef cuts the Chi-square with Kendall concordance index was applied. To compare the means, a descriptive analysis and a Kruskal-Whallis were used. For all analyses were carried out in the SPSS 20, considering 0.05 significance level. The results corroborate with the previous researches carried in Porto Alegre in recent years. The consumers prefer beef meat, and it’s main substitute is the chicken meat. The fish meat is also present in eating habits. The purchase of beef was held mainly in supermarkets, and the income and educations levels were the factors that most influence the decision of buying power. The most consumed beef cuts were the rump, short ribs, ground beef e trip-tip, and the preferred cuts were top sirloin cap, short ribs, trip-tip, tenderloin and rump.

There is currently no strategic marketing plan for stud or commercial breeders of the
Drakensberger breed of cattle in South Africa. This study aims to determine what
strategic marketing plans can be employed that could be successful for the different
levels of Drakensberger cattle farmers. The analysis set off by a literature review of
the beef industry in South Africa. Currently domestic production serves 85% of the
local beef market.
The literature review showed that, irrespective of breed or geographical area,
specific characteristics, such as fertility, adaptability and temperament, could be
identified as critical success factors for the beef industry. The Drakensberger as
competitive breed of cattle, is also analysed within a SWOT analysis (Strengths,
Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats), while the beef industry is analysed by
means of Porter's 5-forces model.
From the results conclusions were made on the farming profile of the Drakensberger
farmers, their marketing orientation, as the important elements relevant to a
marketing plan of the Drakensberger breed of cattle. This includes attractive
promotional and advertising possibilities, pricing and product promotion activities. A
number of marketing recommendations are also made to improve the market share
of the Drakensberger breed of cattle in South Africa.Thesis (M.B.A.)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2011.

As questões ambientais vêm ganhando destaque por permitirem a sociedade uma melhoria na qualidade de vida, tendo uma ferramenta administrativa apresentando grande importância nesse processo que é a logística reversa. Com isso, o padrão de consumo se tornou um fator determinante para a degradação ambiental. Dessa forma procura-se alternativas viáveis para os resíduos e descartes oriundos de artefatos de alumínio. Diante dessa realidade o presente estudo traz a Logística Reversa como uma alternativa a questões relacionadas ao processo de sustentabilidade das empresas, através de um estudo de caso em indústrias de alumínio no município de Catolé do Rocha-PB. Como procedimento metodológico foi adotado um estudo de caso com o uso da pesquisa descritiva, na qual se tomou por base de estudo. As informações foram coletadas por meio de um questionário semiestruturado aplicado nas empresas. Os resultados observados mostraram que ao utilizar a prática da logística reversa nas empresas estudadas, além de contribuições em termos financeiros e ambientais, as mesmas apresentaram benefícios quanto a imagem institucional diante do consumidor. Outro aspecto relaciona-se a redução dos custos de produção, seguindo as regras estabelecidas pela legislação ambiental. Com esse estudo conclui-se, que a logística reversa é necessária para o desenvolvimento da atividade industrial, as empresas conseguem bons resultados para o ambiente com a reutilização de materiais antes depositados no meio ambiente mudando a mentalidade da população para a questão do consumo consciente.
Environmental issues are gaining prominence for allowing the company an improvement in quality of life, and an administrative tool highly relevant in this process that is the reverse logistics. Thus, the pattern of consumption has become a determining factor in environmental degradation. Thus they seek to viable alternatives for waste disposal and coming from aluminum artifacts. Given this reality this study brings Reverse Logistics as an alternative to issues related to the process of sustainable enterprises, through a case study in aluminum industries in Catole of Rocha-PB municipality. As methodological procedure adopted was a case study with the use of descriptive research, which was taken by study basis, the information was collected through a semi-structured questionnaire applied in companies. The results showed that when using the practice of reverse logistics in the companies studied as well as contributions in financial and environmental terms the same showed benefit as the institutional image before the consumers, another aspect relates to the reduction of production costs following the rules by environmental legislation. With this study we conclude that reverse logistics is necessary for the development of industrial activity, companies achieve good results for the environment by reusing materials before disposed in the environment by changing the mentality of the population to the issue of conscious consumption.

Full textAbstract:
The economic necessity of a better production strategy on sourveld promoted this study. Production of marketable two-tooth steers in the summer season and overwintering of all cattle without excessive feed costs were motivating factors. The problems of economic beef production were identified as resulting from the seasonal flow of forage quality from
sourveld grass production. Season long rests, early burning and non-selective grazing of nutritious grass were identified as essential elements of a new utilization strategy. A 'forage reserve', built into the system to cater for fluctuations in grass production due to varied climatic conditions, is used as an indicator of the seasonal stocking rate. This
provides a barometer in relation to the economic and ecological carrying capacity of the property. Research was conducted on the winter utilization of rested veld and its effects on grass species composition and vigour in the following season. It was found that the winter grazing of the rested veld did not affect (P>0.05) the subsequent production in the three
seasons of this study on 'Stratherne' in the Dundee district, KwaZulu-Natal South Africa (30°17'E 28°17'S). The grass species composition of four transects was recorded in 1994, prior to the implementation of the grazing system under test. The same transects were recorded again in 2002 to determine the effect of the change in utilization on grass species composition. It was found that a more productive state was developing in response to the strategy implemented in this study. The general trend has been for sites to move from a Hyparrhenia hirta dominated state to a more productive one associated with species such as Themeda triandra. Summer mass gains of steers (147 kg and 143 kg over the two summers) have improved over the previous systems applied (average 119 kg), as a result of the more nutritious grazing. A greater proportion reached market readiness as two-year old to two and half year olds (97%) on veld, which is far superior to the 38% quoted from research using similar Bonsmara type steers from 'conventional' systems. Monitoring and flexibility are
important in the application of the strategy to conditions in Africa. The principles of adaptive management (monitoring, recording, constant learning and adaptation) will build a data base to ensure long-term success of the strategy. A change of focus in grazing strategy from needs of animals to the needs of plants is strongly advocated.Thesis (M.Sc.)-University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2003.

Full textAbstract:
Feedlot finishing of beef cattle in Southern Alberta involves
income risk due to the variability of prices of feeders, feed and
finished cattle. Several strategies are available to reduce this
risk, including hedging of cattle on feed, participation in a Federal-
Provincial government and producer established income stabilization
program for finished cattle (National Tripartite Stabilization Plan)
and diversification of production plans.
This study evaluated the efficacy and interaction effects of these
strategies in reducing net income variability in cattle feeding in
Southern Alberta. Concerns that were addressed included: (1) whether
participation in hedging or Stabilization would increase firm-level
slaughter cattle output, (2) whether portfolio effects exist between
production and marketing alternatives, (3) whether participation in
Stabilization would reduce participation in hedging (4) whether
hedging performance could be increased by hedging the Canadian dollar,
and (5) whether privately supplied hedging versus publicly supplied
Stabilization is better able to handle income risk in cattle feeding.
The theory of decision making under uncertainty was reviewed to
determine how to best incorporate the risk aspects of the feedlot ,
management problem. Expected Value-Variance (EV)and safety-first risk
analyses were identified as frameworks for formulation of the feedlot
management problem in a mathematical programming context. Using data
from 1976-87, linear risk programming (MOTAD and Target MOTAD) models
of the feedlot process were constructed to analyze the alternatives
for reducing income risk.
Results for the 1986-87 feeding year suggested that, at moderate
levels of risk aversion, feedlot managers should maintain high levels
of hedging of both live cattle and the Canadian dollar with moderate
participation (25 percent of cattle on feed) in the Stabilization
plan. Significant portfolio effects were present. Hedging, but not
Stabilization, was found to increase firm-level output by increasing
the average weight to which a group of cattle would be finished.
Participation in Stabilization was found to reduce hedging
participation by an average of 10 percent. Hedging of the Canadian
dollar improved the performance of live cattle hedging. Whether
hedging was better at reducing risk and maintaining income than
Stabilization depended on the definition of risk.Graduation date: 1989
