This study aims to: (1). determined the potential of human resources (Breeders) for the development of beef cattle; (2). calculating employment opportunities based on the elasticity of employment. This research was conducted in Pesisir Selatan PENDAHULUANDitjen Peternakan (2003) melaporkan bahwa populasi sapi potong di Indonesia menurun dalam lima tahun terakhir, dengan ratarata penurunan 1,08% per tahun, sementara itu jumlah pemotongan selalu meningkat sebesar 0,61% tiap tahun. Demikian juga halnya dengan Sumatera Barat, rata-rata peningkatan populasi sapi potong sebesar 2,05% pertahun, sedangkan jumlah pemotongan meningkat sebesar 2,50% per tahun (BPS Sumatera Barat 2005). Untuk mengatasi kesenjangan ini diperlukan import sapi potong dalam jumlah yang cukup besar, pada tahun 2002 impor sapi bakalan mencapai 400.000 ekor, dan daging setara dengan 120.000 ekor sapi potong (Ditjen Peternakan, 2003). Volume impor yang cukup besar ini, perlu dicermati dan diantisipasi agar ketergantungan dari impor bisa berkurang.Saat ini usaha dari peternakan untuk menghasilkan sapi bakalan dalam negeri (cowcalf operation) 99% dilakukan oleh peternak rakyat. Usaha ini tetap bertahan karena ternak sapi dipelihara dalam suatu sistem yang terintegrasi dengan usaha tani lainnya. Dengan adanya sistem integrasi tanaman ternak yang telah dilakukan oleh petani di pedesaan akan mampu meningkatkan efisiensi dan daya saing sekaligus meningkatkan pendapatan petani (Dwiyanto, 2002).Persoalan mengenai sumber daya manusia menjadi masalah yang serius bagi sub sektor peternakan. Fakta menunjukkan bahwa kapasitas sumber daya manusia dalam berusaha tani sangat rendah sehingga menimbulkan dampak yang jelas tidak menguntungkan bagi sektor atau sub sektor yang memiliki posisi lemah termasuk sub sektor peternakan.
