Actually I never said anything like that...you really need to slow down a read what I post 
But at 10% annually from age 3, that sure doesn't leave many rams that make it to 10. An interesting study for sure. Thanks for confirming that few rams make it to 10 years old. |
Shows though that if we let 100 rams walk at 5 1/2 (as we arent dealing with any other ages other than 5 1/2 to 8 1/2 really) there will be roughly 72.9 rams or 73% make it to 8 1/2. Maybe im not a scholar by any means but that is a fairly decent survival rate.
You keep bringing up 10yr old rams and no one has stated we should leave them till 10
