The information you provide will be used for statistical purposes only. In accordance with the Confidential
Information Protection provisions of Title V, Subtitle A, Public Law 107–347 and other applicable Federal
laws, your responses will be kept confidential and will not be disclosed in identifiable form to anyone
other than employees or agents. By law, every employee and agent has taken an oath and is subject to a
jail term, a fine, or both, if he or she willfully discloses ANY identifiable information about you or your
feedlot. Response is voluntary.
General Instructions
Unless otherwise noted, questions refer to calendar year 2020, from January 1, 2020, to December
31, 2020.
We would like to know about all cattle and calves on feed for the slaughter market, regardless of
ownership, on this particular feedlot.
Include cattle being fed by you for others.
Exclude any of your cattle being custom fed in feedlots operated by others.
Exclude cattle being “backgrounded only” for sale as feeders, for later placement on feed on
another feedlot, or to be returned to pasture.
Exclude cows and bulls being fed by you for the slaughter market.
If “Don’t Know” is provided as an answer option, it is abbreviated as “DK.”
If “Not Applicable” is provided as an answer option, it is abbreviated as “NA.”
The following 4-point scale is utilized in many questions when possible instead of asking specifically for
percentages. This is done because we recognize that in many cases percentages supplied are
approximations and we would like the response to reflect that.
“None” (0%)
“Some (50% or less)
“Most” (51% or more)
“All” (100%)
If a different scale is used it is specified in the question.
During 2020, the spread of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) led to market effects that impacted the
operation of meatpacking plants and had downstream effects on feedlot operations. These effects were
observed through a number of different sources, including the monthly NASS Cattle on Feed Survey. This
questionnaire was revised to include questions to help further describe the effects of COVID-19 on the
health and management of cattle on feedlots.

Section A—Cattle Health and Health Practices
Preconditioning and Backgrounding
1. Preconditioning and backgrounding comprises procedures such as acclimatization to feed
bunks, vaccinations, implants, antibiotic use, weaning, deworming, castration, and dehorning that occur
before cattle arrive at the feedlot. For this question, reliable information about preconditioning and
backgrounding is defined as information that is trusted, but not necessarily documented.
For each of the following arrival weight and breed classes, answer yes or no for whether they were
placed on this feedlot. If yes, for what proportion of these cattle did you have reliable information about
preconditioning/backgrounding they received prior to arrival at this feedlot?
Reliable information?
Weight class and
breed placed on the
feedlot?
a. Beef breed cattle
(less than 400 lb at arrival)
b. Beef breed cattle
(400-699 lb at arrival)
c. Beef breed cattle
(700 lb or greater at arrival)
d. Dairy or dairy cross breed cattle
(less than 400 lb at arrival)
e. Dairy or dairy cross breed cattle
