Abstract

In this study we: a) estimated quarterly demand functions for red meats and broilers, b) estimated quarterly farm-wholesale and wholesale-retail marketing-margin equations for red meats, c) estimated red-meat quarterly inventory-investment equations, d) developed a complete econometric model of quarterly behavior of the beef- and pork marketing sector, and e) applied quadratic programming to determine quarterly and annual levels of farm marketing of hogs and cattle that would maximize farmers' annual cash receipts from hogs and cattle.
