Pre-conditioning of Feeder Calves: A Kentucky CPH-45 Case Study

Kenneth Burdine and, John Johns (September, 2003)

Summary

For many years, Kentucky has promoted its CPH-45 (Certified Pre-conditioned for Health) program to producers as a way to add value to their feeder calves. The intent of this article is to profile a single producer who participated in the Kentucky CPH-45 program for the first time in the Spring of 2003. Actual production data were collected on calves at multiple points throughout the period.
