[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1310190, member: 14585"] Acceptable loss rate calving? I wouldn't say acceptable but 5% is the expected rate for beef cattle (Dairy - Holstein national average is 8.9% dead calves within 48 hours) Small group numbers can be so misleading. Many have hit over .400 for short periods of time, but it takes 502 at bats to qualify for a Major League batting title. Last player to do it was Ted Williams with .406 in 1941 In 1991 he quipped "If I had known hitting .400 was going to be such a big deal, I would have done it again." [/QUOTE]
