FAQ

What work fits NAICS 112111?
  • Contract production and timed delivery of weaned or finished beef cattle to meet procurement lots and specified weight ranges.
  • Manage cow-calf herd reproduction, genetics selection, and replacement heifer development to sustain production schedules.
  • Implement herd health, vaccination, and parasite control programs directed at maintaining production targets and movement eligibility.
  • Plan and manage grazing rotations, forage production, and supplemental feeding to achieve target average daily gain for contracted cattle.
When is NAICS 112111 a weak fit?
  • Cattle feedlot operations (finishing) - missing the cow-calf, grazing, or ranch-origin production focus that defines ranching and cow-calf management.
  • Meat packing or slaughter operations - missing live-animal breeding, rearing, and on-farm production of cattle.
  • Veterinary clinical services or ambulatory practice - missing ownership and production responsibility for beef herds and live-animal delivery obligations.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 112111?
  • Contract specifies delivery of live cattle by weight class and date ranges, with on-farm custody and transportation coordination.
  • Scope requires herd inventory, movement records, vaccination logs, and individual animal identification for traceability.
  • Performance metrics list average daily gain, mortality rates, and required conditioning or backgrounding standards for delivered animals.
