Please note that the synopsis will appear in PubMed: This article explores the application of cattle health and production records (CHPR) in the stocker cattle segment of the beef industry. Evidence is provided to demonstrate the significant lack of data infrastructure currently plaguing the segment. The structural and non-structural basis for the lack of robust information systems regarding CHPR are discussed. Additionally, overcoming the hidden psychological and emotional frictions for adoption are presented for consideration. The article concludes by suggesting CHPR should become part of the practice model and professional ecosystem and is a needed adaptation for veterinarians practicing stocker production medicine.
