Abstract - Beef production in Brazil is based on a great diversity of production systems. Despite the increasing in recent years, productivity is still low, giving space to technological intensification. The present study used special tabulations of Brazilian Census of Agriculture - 2006 to describe the predominant beef cattle systems, with emphasis on technological variables. Factor analysis and clustering techniques were used together, by biome, covering a universe of 124 thousand farms, 94 million heads of cattle and 86 million hectares of pasture. The results highlight the productivity differences among regions and farms, outlining the farm profiles per biome. Such results can be helpful to support research and technologies transfer, as well as public policies aimed to the sector.
