THE CYCLICAL NATURE OF THE U.S. SHEEP INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Van Tassell,   Larry W.; Whipple,   Glen D.
The cyclical nature of numbers and prices of sheep and lambs was examined from 1924 through 1993.  Tests for structural change also were conducted utilizing the minimization of Akaike's information criterion (MAIC).  Results indicate that cyclical length in both stock sheep numbers and lamb prices has decreased over time, with a current 10- and 27-year cycle in stock sheep numbers and nine- and 27-year cycle lamb prices.  Structural changes occurred in 1951 and 1968 for stock sheep number and in 1952 and 1972 for lamb prices.

A FUTURISTIC LOOK AT THE USE OF GRAZED FORAGES IN THE WESTERN UNITED STATES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Van Tassell,   Larry W.; Bartlett,   E. Tom; Mitchell,   John E.
Scenario analysis was used to develop scenarios the grazed forage industry in the western U.S. will most likely face over the next several decades.  Five major factors were identified as being most consequential.  Scenarios indicated that livestock use of grazing lands will most likely decline while wildlife use will increase.

AN EVALUATION OF THE PRIA GRAZING FEE FORMULA
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Torell,   L. Allen; Rimbey,   Neil R.; Bartlett,   E. Tom; Van Tassell,   Larry W.; Tanaka,   John A.
The federal grazing fee is currently set using the Public Rangeland Improvement Act (PRIA) fee formula established in 1978 and modified in 1986. The formula is adjusted annually using indices of private land grazing lease rates (Forage Value Index, FVI), prices received for beef cattle (Beef Cattle Price Index, BCPI), and costs of beef production (Prices Paid Index, PPI). The FVI tracks price movement in the private forage market and was the only index originally proposed to be included in the fee formula. Public land ranchers and an Interdepartmental Grazing Fee Technical Committee assigned to study grazing fee alternatives in the 1960s questioned the ability of the FVI to account for short-term demand, supply, and price equilibrium, and, for this reason,...

The Cattle Price Cycle: An Exploration in Simulation
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Stockton,   Matthew C.; Van Tassell,   Larry W.
The simulation of commodity prices has been undertaken using a myriad of techniques, with some omitting the cyclical component and others ignoring the presence of inter-temporal relationships expressed as autoregressive errors. This study examines the periodicity of cattle prices and the modeling of the cattle cycle for simulation purposes. The AIC criterion is used to determine lengths of various cycles to be included in a harmonic model, with a chained modeling approach providing the best representation of the cattle cycle.

A FURTHER LOOK AT THE EFFECT OF FEDERAL TAX LAWS ON OPTIMAL MACHINERY REPLACEMENT
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Van Tassell,   Larry W.; Nixon,   Clair J.
Self-employment taxes, "effective" marginal tax rates, and discounting schemes which allow for alternative purchase and disposal dates of machinery are incorporated into the traditional optimal replacement interval model. Empirical results indicate that these alterations decrease the optimal replacement intervals by up to three years from those obtained with traditional modeling assumptions. Inclusion of self-employment taxes decreases both the penalty attached to early replacement and the net present value (cost) of tractor ownership.

PROFITABILITY OF ESTABLISHING BASIN WILDRYE FOR WINTER GRAZING
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: May,   Gary J.; Van Tassell,   Larry W.; Smith,   Michael A.; Waggoner,   James W.
This study examined the economic viability of establishing basin wildrye for winter grazing. Mixed integer-programming models were developed that minimized cow feed costs. Estimated basin wildrye establishment costs were $154 per acre. Break-even basin wildrye yields were approximately 2.6 and 2.3 AUMs/acre for March and May calving scenarios, respectively.

DYNAMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENTS BETWEEN COMMERCIAL AND PUREBRED CATTLE MARKETS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Van Tassell,   Larry W.; Bessler,   David A.
Vector autoregression was utilized to investigate dynamic relationships existing between prices of purebred bulls and prices of slaughter steers, utility cows, feeder calves, and cow-calf pairs.  Results suggest purebred bull prices respond most quickly to an increase in utility cow prices (proxy for slaughter bull prices).  Feeder calf prices exhibited the most pronounced positive effect on the price of herd sires, with a lagged response which took over two years to build.

GRAZING ON PUBLIC LANDS IN THE 21ST CENTURY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Van Tassell,   Larry W.; Torell,   L. Allen; Rimbey,   Neil R.
A panel of professionals from the ranching, environmental, agency, and university communities was assembled to examine trends relating to the future of grazing on federal lands.  Five factors were identified that were thought to influence the use of grazed forages over the next 20 years.  These factors were (1) multiple uses of public land, (2) public sentiment towards grazing on public lands, (3) environmental and federal agency regulations, (4) permittee issues, and (5) use of science and technology for managing public land grazing.  A list of issues associated with each of the five factors was concurrently developed.  The panel of experts was surveyed to explore the future direction each issue would take and the influence each issue may exert on grazing...

OPTIMAL FEED COST STRATEGIES ASSOCIATED WITH EARLY AND LATE CALVING SEASONS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: May,   Gary J.; Van Tassell,   Larry W.; Smith,   Michael A.; Waggoner,   James W.
Integer programming models were used to examine optimal monthly feeding strategies and costs for March and May calving alternatives.  Body condition scores were allowed to fluctuate throughout the year except for calving and breeding periods.  The May calving strategy decreased annual feeding costs by $20 per cow.

DEPREDATION CLAIM BEHAVIOR AND TOLERANCE OF WILDLIFE IN WYOMING
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Van Tassell,   Larry W.; Yang,   Bozheng; Phillips,   Clynn.
Wyoming Game and Fish Department depredation payments were established to increase landowner tolerance toward, and this the supply of, certain types of wildlife. This study examined how socio-economic and demographic characteristics of farmers and ranchers in Wyoming relate to tolerance toward wildlife and depredation claim submission. The severity of depredation and landowner satisfaction with the depredation policy were evaluated. The financial stability and economic intent of farmers and ranchers significantly influenced tolerance toward wildlife. Landowners tended to be less tolerant of depredation ensuing from elk. The complexity of the submission process was a deterrent to damage claim submissions.
