The Bruce County Beef Project is a three-year study designed to elucidate factors influencing morbidity, mortality and productivity in calves entering feedlots in Bruce County each fall. The factors investigated include management techniques, ration, prophylactic and therapeutic regimes, demographic factors (age, weight, breed, etc.), housing and transportation.
