Abstract

The study was carried out in Takisung district, Tanah Laut regency, South Kalimantan, Indonesia. The objectives were (a) to investigate the characteristics of beef cattle raising and (b) to investigate the contribution of beef cattle income to household farmers. Data were analyzed descriptively and using several formulae. Results showed that 88 % of the farmers were in productive age, 60 % of the households were 3-4 people, 69 % of the rearing experiences were between 10 to 20 years, 47 % of respondents have as many as 4-5 AU and 81% of respondents did not complete elementary school, junior high school, and high school. The contribution of beef cattle income to farming households ranged from 15% to 26%. The agricultural land area owned negatively affected the beef cattle income contribution to the household farming.
