Abstract

A comprehensive research program was initiated in 1976 to study problems associated with movement of feeder calves from farms in the Southeast to grazing and feeding areas in Texas and Oklahoma. This effort was intended to complement established work on the problem and to allow certain investigations which require experimental control of animals from farms of origin to ultimate destination.
