This study aims to determine the business opportunities of cattle farming with traditional systems in the Gorontalo area. The method used is a combination of qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative process is carried out by interviewing farmers; the results of the interviews are then displayed in the form of quantitative figures. The analysis is done by calculating cash flow, net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), benefit-cost ratio (BC Ratio), and gross margin. The results showed that the traditional system of cattle farming business by self-management and profit sharing, cash flow, NPV, IRR, BC ratio, and gross margin was profitable so that they were worthy of being selected. Cash flow and NPV are still positive, and the IRR level is greater than the required profit level.
