Abstract

The investment potential of alternative grazing systems is analyzed with emphasis on hill-land beef-cattle production. Utilizing a linear programming quasi-optimal solution technique, the results are illustrated for a representative farm. In general, grazing systems incorporating warm-season grasses are found to be a more desirable investment alternative.
