Abstract

Excerpts from the report: This report covers results of a study of nine branch livestock markets representing three regional cooperatives in Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. Object of the study was to find ways to help these and similar livestock markets improve their efficiency. Each of the nine markets operated a weekly auction. In addition most of them also sold some livestock – primarily hogs -- on other days of the week. During the study, the facility layout and operation of each was studied in detail and records showing volume of receipts and detailed costs and income were analyzed. This report thus shows comparisons of these nine markets. It also gives suggestions for improved efficiency based on these findings.
