Abstract: A discrete choice model is used to analyze the decision to feed or sell calves at weaning. After accounting for regional factors, results show that operator perceptions toward profitability, risk, and facilities as well as control over production and attention to marketing impacted retained ownership of calves. Farm size had a minimal impact.
