Morning
 
That's a tough one to answer. different ways of running programs, different breeds, different husbandry practices. Some years just plain bad luck. Some years everything goes right. Average I'd say 3% to 5%, maybe. You want 0 dead but things happen. Yesterday evening I pulled one. The calf had a front leg back. I had to push him back in to find and get the other leg forward. If I hadn't the cow probably wouldn't have had him, or by the time she did it would have been to long and he would have been dead.
Sorry I missed this post and thanks. I'm really not sure what I was expecting but the business side of farming has started to fascinate me. I saw a Barntalk clip on YouTube that for whatever reason sparked an interest.
