The number of cattle with the characteristic is presented in the left part of the cell. For the Overall column, the % of cattle that this number represents is presented in the right part of the cell in parentheses. For the High Risk for BRD and Low Risk for BRD columns, in parentheses and separated by a comma, first the % of total cattle is presented, then the % of cattle in that risk category is presented. Percentages of use may not add to 100% due to rounding.
