Data from 13,296 calvings collected over a 15-yr period indicated 893 calves died from birth to weaning for an average loss of 6.7%. Calves lost from birth through Day 3 postcalving accounted for a 4.6% loss with an additional 2.1% loss from Day 4 through weaning. Calf deaths from primiparous 2- and 3-yr-old dams accounted for 41.0% of total mortality. Losses within groups were primiparous 2-yr-olds, 10.9%; primiparous 3-yr-olds, 8.7%; second-calf 3-yr-olds, 4.1%; second-calf 4-yr-olds, 8.3%; multiparous 4-yr-olds, 4.8%; and dams 5 yr and older, 5.3%. The majority of calf deaths (57.4%) occurred within the first 24 h postpartum with 75% of the total occurring Days 0 through 7. This loss was similar among all dam age and parity groups. Calf death due to dystocia accounted for the single largest loss category through the first 96 h postpartum, resulting in 69.6, 39.6, 30.8 and 33.3% of the loss incidence for Day 0, 1, 2 and 3 postpartum, respectively. More (P < 0.01) male calves (510, 57.6%) died than females (376, 42.4%). Backward presentations occurred more frequently (P < 0.01) than breech (1.6 vs 0.6% of all births, respectively). Incidence of backward presentation was 2.3%, 5.6% and 0.9% for primiparous 2-yr-old, 3-yr-old and multiparous dams, respectively (P < 0.01); 64.2% of the backward calves were males and 35.8% females (P < 0.01). Survival of calves in backward presentation exceeded (P < 0.01) that of breech calves (70.7 vs 32.9%). Fall pregnancy rate of dams that lost calves and reentered the breeding herd that same year was 72.4% compared to 79.4% (P < 0.01) for contemporary females that did not lose calves. The depression in pregnancy rate was not specifically due to dystocia but apparently to some general effect of calf loss.
