Abstract

Excerpts: This is a statistical summary of adjustments and changes in ranch organization, investment, income, and expense from 1930 to 1947 on commercial family-operated cattle ranches in the Intermountain region. The study upon which this report is based is a portion of a Nation-wide study of commercial farms and ranches by types and sizes in important farming regions of the United States. The body of this report contains selected summary tables and graphic interpretations with a minimum of discussion. The appendix includes a detailed discussion of terms used. This particular report deals specifically with the group of cattle ranches that range in size from 50 to 600 head of cattle. This size range spans the practical limits of commercial family-operated cattle ranches; it includes approximately 90 per cent of the cattle ranches in the area. About 50 percent of all commercial farms in the region are classified as livestock farms.
