The research results show  Financially, businesses run by breeders who are also inter-regional traders are considered feasible. If viewed in terms of flexibility, namely: in the upstream sector of the supply chain (upstream SC) beef cattle are not flexible in terms of volume and delivery and the speed of response (responsiveness) is low, but in the downstream sector (downstream SC) it is more flexible in terms of volume and delivery as well as high responsiveness.
