Gender equality is one of the main aspects in the sustainable development goals. This study aimed to analyze the roles of women in the households of beef cattle raising farmers in Nagari Lakitan Utara, Pesisir Regency, Sumatra Barat Province. This research involved 100 farmer households and collaborating partners from related institutions, employing the Harvard gender model of analysis and using the approach of Level of Effort (LoE) values. Results showed that women had significantly important roles in the management of beef cattle raising, starting from providing the logistical needs to managing the finances from cattle sales. In particular, women showed greater roles in herding as well as contacting inseminators and veterinarians in the case of ill animals.
