Abstract
Preconditioning calf programs
add value for buyers. Models
estimated with data collected
for calves certified under the
Oklahoma Quality Beef
Network (OQBN) in 2001-
2003 generally found premiums
paid for certified,
preconditioned calves versus
calves neither weaned nor
vaccinated. Larger premiums
were found when also
marketing certified,
preconditioned calves in sale
lots of 10 head or more.
