Abstract

Animal harvesting is an important industry in the Texas Panhandle with economic output of more than $7 billion and employment approaching 12,000 (IMPLAN, 2013). Technology advancements providing more efficient utilization of cattle carcasses through useful by-products is a means by which the value of the industry to the regional economy is increased. By-products can reduce waste, increase the overall value of the carcass, and boost profits. Increased profit potential provides an incentive for beef packing facilities to efficiently utilize the majority of the carcass. The by-products increase value added to the beef marketing channel in the Texas Panhandle and increase the contribution of the animal harvesting industry to the regional economy.
