Abstract	To improve vocational educational programs in agriculture, occupational information on a common core of basic skills within the occupational area of the beef farmer is presented in the revised task inventory survey. The purpose of the occupational survey was to identify a common core of basic skills which are performed and are essential for success in the occupation. Objectives were accomplished by constructing an initial task inventory to identify duty areas and task statements for the occupation. The initial task inventory was reviewed by consultants in the field, and 279 tasks were identified. A random sample of 77 beef farmers based on the 1974-75 directory of the Ohio Young Farmers Association, Inc. was obtained. Data were collected utilizing a questionnaire. Thirty-five questionnaires were returned of which 30 were usable. A compilation of basic sample background information is presented on the size and type of beef organization, years as a beef farmer, and preparation as a beef farmer. A compilation of duty areas of work performed and work essential for the occupation is given. Percentage performance by incumbent workers and the average level of importance of specific task statements are presented in tabular form. (Author/EC)
