A new study helps with estimating cattle movement to determine disease risk. This study predicts movement within types of premises in counties, such as from one small cow/calf producer to feedlots in two different counties at a given distance or from one producer to another. Privacy concerns in the U.S. generally prevent animal health officials from obtaining and sharing full cattle movement data.
