Heritability Of Bovine Respiratory Disease
Groups of 1519 preweaned and 3277 feedlot cattle were used to study
heritability of bovine respiratory disease (BRD). Across both groups,
the sire of individuals was known. Preweaned calves came from one herd.

Protecting More Calves From Respiratory Diseases
It soon will be time to "work" the spring-born calves. New research is
available that suggests that the young calves may be vaccinated with
products used for protection against the respiratory diseases (IBR and
BVDV).
