 Bu araştırmada Şanlıurfa ili merkez Eyyubiye ilçesinde bulunan sığırcılık işletmelerinin sosyo-ekonomik durumu hakkında bilgi edinmek amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada 378 işletmeciyle yüz yüze görüşülerek anket yapılmış ve işletme sahiplerinin 41.5inin 46-55 yaş aralığında bulunduğu saptanmıştır. Ayrıca, işletmecilerin büyük çoğunluğunun 39,3 ilkokul mezunu olduğu da tespit edilmiştir.

İşletmecilerin 33,3nün ise, hayvancılık ile birlikte esnaf, memur, işçi vb. ile işlerde faaliyet gösterdikleri tespit edilmiştir. Sığırcılık işletme sahiplerinin büyük çoğunluğunun  52,7si 11-20 yıl arasında değişen yetiştiricilik deneyimine sahip oldukları belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, araştırma kapsamındaki sığır yetiştiricilerinin 74,6sının birlik veya kooperatiflerde üyeliklerinin bulunduğu, 25,6sının ise herhangi bir birlik ya da kooperatife üye olmadığı tespit edilmiştir.

İşletme sahipleri genellikle yetiştirecekleri sığır ırkını seçerken, veriminin yüksek olmasına, o ırktan elde edilen buzağıların satışının kolaylığına ve kendi yetiştirme şartlarının uygunluğuna da önem verdiklerini ifade etmişlerdir.
