Abstract
The government is trying to meet the needs of domestic beef cattle seedlings because beef cattle seedlings are one of the elements that have an important influence on the success of beef cattle fattening businesses. Superior quality beef cattle seedlings greatly affect beef production- therefore, the government makes efforts to increase domestic beef cattle seedling production. The study^s objective was to determine the sustainability of beef cattle farming in the Barru Regency in terms of the dimensions of agricultural institutions involved. This research used to survey, interview, and Focus Group Discussion methods. Data were processed with the Rap-Local Beef Cattle Breeding ordination technique through the Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS) method for sustainability analysis. The results showed that the sustainability of beef cattle breeding based on the institutional dimension is quite good.
