In recent decade, farmers in Turkey have been raising cattle separately as dairy and beef. Farmers used to produce cattle for both dairy and beef as mixed farms. Since, specialization in dairy and beef farms has been increasing in Turkey, determination of factors affecting the profitability of dairy and beef production and their trends could help cattle producers to decide on specialization. This research was carried out to determine model for the factors affecting profitability of cattle farms for both dairy and beef. The survey has been conducted with 110 cattle farms in three districts (Karayazi, Tekman, Cat) where main income source of farmers are cattle products in Erzurum Province. The factor affecting profitability of cattle farms were estimated for dairy farms and beef farms. ER -
