During 1985 eleven feedlots located in Kansas and Nebraska under direct health care programs instituted by the author, received a total of 372,175 cattle. There was a 7% morbidity rate in these cattle and a .65% mortality. Respiratory diseases accounted for 65% of the morbidity and the mortality during this period.
Of the 26,674 cattle treated in these feedlots, 33% of them had been on feed for more than 45 days and of the 2,420 animals that died, 46% of these had been in the feedlot for more than 45 days.
