The objective of the study was to analyze the feasibility of beef cattle farming to climate change in Sumenep District, East Java Province, Indonesia. The research was conducted at the beef cattle Farm for one month from December to January 2023. The method used in the research is a survey with a quantitative approach while the sampling method is multistage sampling (multi-stage cluster sampling for data collection from a large group of areas with the largest to smallest population) and the method can be combined with other sampling methods namely purposive sampling (deliberate data collection) and data collection methods are interviews, questionnaires, observation, focus group discussions and documentation.

The data analysis used was feasibility analysis, namely R/C ratio, which collected production cost data consisting of variable costs, fixed costs and total revenue. The results showed that beef cattle farming in Sumenep district obtained an R/C ratio value of 0.99 for a population of 2 heads, an R/C ratio of 1.00 for a population of 3 heads, and an R/C ratio of 1.06 for a population of 4 populations. The conclusion is that climate change affects the R/C ratio value of the 2-tailed population which is declared not feasible to run while the 3-tailed and 4-tailed populations are feasible to run and develop.
