Insurance operations research — draft

Beef cattle ranching and farming operations raise cattle from birth or purchase through various production phases — cow-calf, stocker/backgrounder, or combinations thereof — primarily for eventual sale into the beef supply chain. Day-to-day operations involve pasture and range management, feeding, herd health, calving, branding, and transportation to sale barns or feedlots.
