Linear programming has been used for many years to help make management decisions in beef feedlot and dairy cattle operations. In this chapter we discuss a LP model applied to range cattle ranching. The main problem of this type of farm operation is the decision about the stock of animals versus the available quantities of feed during the year. Cattle ranching is a dynamic enterprise requiring a sequence of decisions overlapping several production cycles. In order to keep the problem relatively simple, however, we begin with a static specification of the problem and turn to a multistage formulation in a further section.
