Product System Model for Beef Production 2011
Product system boundaries (cow-calf-finisher, CCF) include all material and energy flows associated with crop production and live cattle operations. Cattle inventory flows include the cow-calf operation and end with market weight finisher cattle and culls resulting from one full year of operation. The total live weight produced in one year is 2914841.44 kg and is comprised of the following animals: Finished cattle: 3724 (581 kg/finisher) Culled cows: 1156 (636 kg/cow) Culled bulls: 58 (908 kg/cow)
These data were developed using Integrated Farm System Model and are intended to represent the MARC cattle operation in Nebraska in 2011. The data were a product of a project funded by the National Cattleman's Beef Association.

Ag Data CommonsIntended use
These data were developed using IFSM and are intended to represent the MARC cattle operation in Nebraska in 2011. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the cow-calf unit process and therefore live weight produced includes culled cows and bulls in addition to finisher cattle. This data set was developed for use in Situation C2: Accounting, excluding interactions with other systems (ILCD Handbook).Temporal Extent Start Date
