This Guide was developed to meet growing demand from buyers for preconditioned or backgrounded calves. This Guide outlines a procedure for producing these types of calves. To increase your chances of successful preconditioning or good backgrounding, you must work with cattle production advisers you trust. 
Preconditioning, like backgrounding, is an art that must be mastered in order to succeed. These practices can improve the pro fitability of your farm business, but they can also increase your costs, with no return on investment, if the product you offer does not meet buyers' expectations .
