Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to determine the aim hierarchy of Stud Cattle Breeders Association members (SCBAM) reflecting their perspectives on stud cattle breeding and order their aims from most important to least important. In addition, another aim of the study is to determine the coherence between the institutional targets of Stud Cattle Breeders Association (SCBA) and targets of stud cattle breeders. For this purpose, 111 members of SCBA in Erzurum were surveyed with proportional sampling method. According to the results of the study, SCBAM in the study area give importance to the aims of “Meeting family needs”, “Reducing debts”, “Obtaining maximum profit”, “Improving herds”, “Extending enterprise”, “Transferring enterprise to the next generation”, and “Realizing the least risky production”, respectively.
