This study aimed to examine the stages of the implementation process of independent extension services in Kedungrejo Village, analysed beef cattle farmers' perceptions of the performance of independent extension agents, and assess the influence of farmers' characteristics (age, formal education level, farming experience, number of cattle ownerships, and participation in independent extension programs) on their perceptions. The research was conducted from October to December 2024. Respondents were selected using purposive with a census approach, involving 35 respondents. Data were collected through a survey method, and the performance of independent extension agents was measured using four indicators: productivity, responsiveness, responsibility, and service quality. The research instrument was a questionnaire utilizing a five-point Likert scale. The collected data were analysed using quantitative descriptive analysis and multiple linear regression analysis. The findings indicated that the implementation of independent extension services comprised several stages: identifying farmers' needs and problems, seeking information, conducting extension activities, monitoring, and evaluation. Farmers' perceptions of the performance of independent extension agents were categorized as good, with an average score of 86.45%. Simultaneously, the variables of age, formal education level, farming experience, number of cattle ownerships, and participation in independent extension programs significantly influenced farmers' perceptions. However, in a partial analysis, participation in independent extension programs was found to be the most significant factor affecting farmers' perceptions.
