Regional location of cattle feeding — A spatial equilibrium analysis

G. A. King and L. F. Schrader

Hilgardia, 1963, vol. 34, issue 10

Abstract: This study focuses on factors affecting the regional location of cattle feeding. Briefly stated, these factors include the regional demand for beef, transfer costs for carcass beef and for the intermediate products of feeds and feeder cattle, feed conversion efficiency by region, and regional supplies of the intermediate products of concentrate feed, hay, and feeder cattle. The study is a partial equilibrium approach to the location of feedlots, taking as given the location of production of other livestock products.
