Abstract: Available data indicate general improvement in the technical efficiency of production of the U.S. beef cow-calf sector since 1975. By contrast, indicators of economic performance suggest that the overall volume of resources allocated to cow-calf production remains inefficiently large and that recent adjustments in regional and enterprise-size characteristics of the sector have been inadequate to achieve available improvements in economic efficiency.
