Description

Economic surveying of cow-calf operations in Alberta has a 33-year long history that started in 1985 with just few participating producers. As the number of participating producers grew it became possible to generalize the collected information and produce the sample averages or benchmarks. The benchmarks delivered to the producers and public presented major economic and production performance measures such as unit costs, net returns, cow conception and calf crop rates, among others. This special edition compiles all available electronic information starting from 1995 – 22 years and present it in the uniform format for comparison reasons.
