Bovine respiratory disease chute-side scoring round (Wisconsin chart) — Schaumburg, IL.

Schaumburg, IL is home to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), already confirmed via WebFetch to Wikipedia earlier this session: founded 1863, representing more than 105,000 veterinarians and accrediting every US veterinary college, including bovine practitioners within its broad membership -- the same national veterinary-profession field this standard's own BRD chute-side screen sits in. HONESTY LIMIT stated directly: AVMA's real, verified national status is confirmed, but this session could not independently confirm via Wikipedia that AVMA specifically teaches or promotes the McGuirk Wisconsin chute-side scoring chart to its members, so this connects to a real, verified national veterinary professional body in the same broad field, not a confirmed direct endorsement -- the same tier pattern used for the camelid_body_condition, beef_cattle_body_condition, rabbit_body_condition_score, small_ruminant_body_condition, sow_body_condition_caliper_score, catfish_dissolved_oxygen_monitoring, broiler_meatbird_gait_score, and trout_dissolved_oxygen_monitoring Schaumburg tiles earlier this session. A genuinely distinct real institution from the existing Madison (the chart's own origin), Manhattan (K-State Beef Cattle Institute), Canyon (VERO), Thousand Oaks (SAGE, the validation citation's journal publisher), and Ithaca (Cornell, AABP's founding institution) tiles -- Schaumburg is the national veterinary profession's own umbrella body headquarters.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

A dated chute-side round scoring all 5 WCHSC categories (rectal temperature, cough, nasal discharge, eye score, ear score) per calf, summed to a total score, any calf scoring >=5 flagged BRD-positive for a veterinarian, and any calf with concerning signs (depression, reduced nursing/feed intake, isolation) flagged for a veterinary look regardless of the numeric score

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

• A digital rectal thermometer
• A calm handling chute or headgate for safe, controlled examination
• A recording sheet or app with the 5 WCHSC categories, animal ID, and total-score field

Steps

1. 1. Restrain the calf calmly in a chute or headgate; approach quietly to avoid stress that can transiently elevate temperature or respiratory rate.
2. 2. Take a rectal temperature and score 0-3 per the WCHSC bands (0 = normal, rising scores for progressively higher fever).
3. 3. Observe and score cough 0-3 (0 = none, 3 = spontaneous repeated coughing).
4. 4. Observe and score nasal discharge 0-3 (0 = none, 3 = copious mucopurulent discharge).
5. 5. Observe and score eye appearance 0-3 (0 = normal, 3 = heavy ocular discharge or eyelids partially closed from illness).
6. 6. Observe ear/head carriage and score 0-3 (0 = normal, 3 = drooping ear or head tilt).
7. 7. Sum all 5 category scores to a total; a total of 5 or more flags the calf BRD-positive per the validated threshold.
8. 8. Regardless of the numeric total, flag any calf showing depression, reduced nursing/feed intake, or isolation from the group for a veterinary look -- the system's real sensitivity (71.1% disease-level) means roughly 1 in 4 true BRD cases score below the threshold.
9. 9. Route any BRD-positive or otherwise-flagged calf to a veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment; log the full round (all scored calves, category scores, total, date) for trend tracking.

What counts as done

• All 5 WCHSC categories scored 0-3 per calf (rectal temperature, cough, nasal discharge, eye score, ear score), never estimated or skipped
• Total score computed and recorded per calf, dated, with animal ID
• Any calf with a total score >=5 flagged BRD-positive and routed to a veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment
• Any calf showing depression, reduced nursing/feed intake, or isolation from the group flagged for a veterinary look regardless of the numeric total, per the standard's stated sensitivity limit

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
