Currently, the most profitable beef cattle business is fattening. Keeping cattle from feeder size to ready size for slaughter. Most cattle in Indonesia focus on fattening. Rarely are breeders engaged in intensive breeding business. Cattle breeding business is considered economically less profitable.

So far, many cattle breeding businesses have been carried out by traditional breeders. Productivity is less reliable. Many are done as a side business or family savings. So that Indonesia always lacks feeder cattle. To meet this need, a lot of feeder cattle are imported from other countries.
