Abstract: Previous researchers have identified factors that contribute to variability of profits and feeding cost of gain in cattle feeding. Efforts have been made to identify the relative importance of specific factors in order to assist cattle feeders in managing economic risks. The results of this research suggest that these relationships are not stable over time, and are highly unpredictable. This implies that risk management strategies for cattle feeders may be more difficult to identify and implement than previously thought
