Abstract

Abstract Data from 1,422 feeder cattle teleauction lots were used to assess the impacts on profitability of the Virginia quality assured (VQA) feeder cattle program. The analysis finds higher profits for VQA cattle due to their faster turnover and lower feed costs; however, certification does not have a significant effect on price received by producers. The analysis further suggests that the cost associated with production under VQA should be considered in addition to price effects studied in previous literature.

摘要采用1422个饲养牛电话拍卖标段的数据来评估弗吉尼亚州质量保证(VQA)饲养牛项目对盈利能力的影响。分析发现,VQA牛的利润更高,因为它们的周转更快,饲料成本更低;然而,认证对生产者收到的价格没有显著影响。分析进一步表明,除了先前文献研究的价格效应外,还应考虑VQA下与生产相关的成本。
