Abstract: The beef cattle industry in the Southeast is dominated by the cow-calf enterprise. Considerable discussion and research has addressed the economic potential of producers in the Southeast carrying calves longer on pasture rather than shipping them to other regions for stockering and backgrounding. Some have suggested that the region has a comparative advantage for increased grain and grass finishing of animals (Farris and Dietrich). At the firm level, the decision to retain calves must be based, among other things, on the availability of forage and on current and expected prices. The longer calves are kept, the greater the competition between cows and calves for available forage.
