DYNAMICALLY OPTIMAL AND APPROXIMATELY OPTIMAL BEEF CATTLE DIETS FORMULATED BY NONLINEAR PROGRAMMING [PDF]
Cattle purchasing, feeding, and selling decisions are described by a free-time optimal control model. The nutrient constraints of the National Research Council and a recently published dry matter intake constraint augment the model and make it nonlinear ...

Consumer Valuation of Meat Alternatives and Labeling Policies: A Comparative Perspective
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 762-779, July 2026.ABSTRACT This study investigates and compares US consumer perceptions and the impact of environmental, human health, and animal welfare information related to conventional meat on preferences for meat alternatives and labeling policies.

Resilience of Small Beef Packers and the USDA Meat Supply Chain Initiative
Agribusiness, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 1669-1674, Summer 2026.ABSTRACT We focus on the plant‐size resilience relationship among small beef packers during COVID‐19. Defining resilience as the ability to maintain or increase slaughter and non‐resilience as otherwise, we use survey and secondary data to estimate a logit model where resilience is a function of a plant's capacity and age in addition to labor condition
