Herd Health Requirements

Genetic potential is only potential if cattle are not managed properly -- both on the ranch and at the feedlot. Management plays a role in animals' ability to meet their genetic potential. Cattle that aren’t healthy will never reach their full potential.

All calves enrolled in Angus Link are required to receive at least one of each of the following vaccines prior to shipment:

1. Blackleg vaccine
2. Viral vaccine
3. Bacterial vaccine

Producers enrolling their calves will be able to document if enrollment groups have received more than the minimum requirement and/or utilized a branded health protocol, which will be listed within the enrollment group's marketing certificate. Certificate Example
