Among the results found, it was determined that most of the consulted systems have between 50 to 100 animals and spaces of up to 100 hectares; Most of them acquire their animals in neighboring farms and market them in a private company for slaughter. Among the cultural tasks, weed control is carried out to a greater extent with chemicals and only 29% of the ranchers apply fertilization; In relation to the cost of production, the intensive systems reach values of $1.71 kg-1 of meat, being the highest compared to the extensive system that barely had a value of $1.29 kg-1 meat, however, as far as Regarding productivity, the intensive systems have a greater increase in weight per month than the other productive systems.
