[QUOTE="redcowsrule33, post: 833297, member: 8629"] Studies in dairy cattle for perinatal mortality average 5% for single births and 15-22% for twins. Our average with 5 cows (not a very large cohort but it's what I've got) is 40% mortality for twins. I would think that in beef cattle the mortality rate may be higher than dairy since in dairy cattle more of the births are observed and intervention can come quicker. [/QUOTE]
