Research Institute on Livestock Pricing Publications


Dr. Wayne Purcell founded and secured funding for the Research Institute on Livestock Pricing at Virginia Tech from 1986 until his retirement in late 2005.  The Institute helped fund research at a number of Land Grant Universities, conducted national conferences on economic issues of importance, and increased the level of knowledge about many of the issues in which NAIBER is interested.  

Publications previously made available through the Research Institute on Livestock Pricing will now be made available through this website free of charge.  Please search the list of publications below and download in Adobe Acrobat format.
