[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 358782, member: 3162"] 0 is acceptable. 3.5% is good, and you should feel good about it. But, I strive to lose none. A 10% loss is about a 30% loss in profit. Breeds absolutely make a difference. In the last two years I lost two calves, both to angus cows. If either cow loses another calf, they are goners. Birthweights over 80 lbs alarm me. I'd rather sell a 5 weight weaned steer than a would be 6 weight that didn't survive or else he did damage to momma when he/she was born. If momma can't calve regularly again, that is a loss as well.
