Abstract

Actually in Sonora there is not clear information regarding cattle exportation operations, showing ranchers and general public monthly tendencies related to volumes of cattle moved and their respective selling prices on each one of the border ports, so producers use this information to take decisions on their marketing projects. The objective of this study was to conduct an analysis regarding actual marketing tendencies to the United States classifying the information by border port, class and calf prices so we identify marketing tendencies for beef producers of Sonora. We analyze monthly and annual evolution for each of the three border ports, the marketing behaviors of calf production in the state, as well as price fluctuation, and in a second background we analyze behavioral tendencies of exports. The results obtained in this analyzes show that the commercialization process is a cyclic and stationary activity on which both, demand and price are directly related to the type of animal exports and its weight, principally and to the season of the year, availability and grain and forage prices in the United States, which are determinant factors in the behavioral trends “sale of commercialization”, consequently there is not an effect which can be attributed to the border port at were the marketing or cattle crossing is conducted.
