Can you substantiate your opinion that the 2004 harvest exceeded recruitment and can you substantiate your opinion that the owdd was further reduced and that a harvest of only 2 DPSM will further reduce the herd.
Cold, hard, independent, documented, facts from somewhere other than your calculator please.
Table 3 of the 2003 Annual Report shows that there were 12 DPSM in 2 G in Jan.2003 and the PS DD was 16 DPSM so a harvest of 4 DPSM would have kept the herd stable. But in 2003 they harvested 7.6 DPSM so the harvest reduced the herd by 3.6 DPSM. The 2004 harvest rate was 4.2 DPSM so if it only took a harvest of 4 DPSM to keep the herd stable , so it is obvious that with fewer OWD in 2004 the harvest of 4.2 DPSM further reduced the OWDD.
