| dc.description | We develop a practical methodology for producers to estimate the optimal harvest time of live animals. We incorporate nonlinear dynamic growth functions into the producer’s objective function. Currently, the cattle industry objective is to produce a constant carcass end-point quality. We find significant increases in profitability using our methodology. | |
