How about a five year average ending in 2007? 2002 would be out. Go do your homework and get back to us eh? BTW, why not present it the way RSB did? list all states and all the data. For someone who claims PGC distortions, you sure put up a weak arguement.
Using 5 year averages during a period when the gaol was to reduce the herd by almost 50% is simply ridiculous and of absolutely no value.
