The purposes of this study are i) to analyze the determinants of profitability of beef cattle breeding management in Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia and ii) to identify the current managerial problems. The regression analysis based on the data collected by a farm management survey revealed that the farm net revenue was significantly affected by the number of cattle fed, cultivated land area, presence or absence of corn sales, shipping weight of a calf, and shipping rate. It was also found that small-size farmers are more likely to view the external environment as a problem and try to maintain the present management status, while large-size farmers are more likely to consider the lack of internal resources as a problem and try to enhance use of their own resources in order to expand their management.
