I have had a thought in my mind since I attended the Ranching for Profit School. What do most of you consider acceptable percentages. Do you measure calving percentages with cows exposed or cows called pregnant in the fall. I would say pregnant cows in the fall with 5% loss during calving being alright. Weaning percentage I would say should be at least 93% on mature cows. Preg rate on mature cows I think should be between 93% and 96%. Death loss on mature cow herd should not be more than 1% probably more like .5%. Are these reasonable goals? What do most of you expect.
