As of January 1, 2004 there were 950,000 beef cows in Florida, ranking the state 12th in beef cows nationally and third for States east of the Mississippi Rover (Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, 2004). The study sample population of beef producers consisted of a considerable portion of large operations, since 26.4% (N=24) of the respondents reported over 1,000 animals during the peak time of production. Moreover, these large operations account for a large portion of Florida's economic value in the beef cattle industry, as 14.3% (N=13) of the population reported an average annual gross receipt value of $1,000,000 or more. Overall, this study provided insight into the development of educational materials and programs to promote the use of agroterrorism security practices by Florida beef cattle producers.
