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.

Description

The primary value of these reports is to enable producers to gauge their productive, economic and financial performance relative to their peers locally and provincially. Benchmark analysis, comparing to one's own detailed business analysis, is the first critical step in identifying operational strengths and weaknesses in a cow/calf operation. The benchmarking process has two key time perspectives. The first is an historical analysis, involving comparisons over time. The second is a within-year comparison, focusing on how your operation performed, responded to, or weathered the challenges faced by you and your local peers.
