BIF currently has no guidelines for the collection and analysis of pre-weaning survival data in US beef cattle. These Guidelines do provide recommendations for pre-weaning disposal codes and many organizations do collect these data.

While work has been performed in the US and other countries, future investment in research on the genetics of pre-weaning survival and additional guidelines development would be essential before predictions of genetic merit can be made available. Below are links to examples of the efforts from other countries.
