20 Reliability of and Goat and ator Loss Estimates Survey Procedures: A random sample of U.S. producers was surveyed to provide data for these estimates. Survey procedures ensured that all sheep producers, regardless of size, had a chance to be included in the survey. Large producers were sampled more heavily than small operations. About 2 operators were contacted during the first half of January by mail, telephone and faceto-face personal interview. Estimation Procedures: Total death losses from all causes for sheep and lambs were as reported in "Meat Animals, Production, Disposition, and Income - 4" (released April 28, 5). In setting the predator and non-predator loss estimates, first total predator and non-predator losses were estimated as a percent of total losses, then specific predator and non-predator losses were estimated as a percent of total predator and non-predator losses. Revision Policy: Revisions to previous estimates are made to improve the current estimate. Previous year estimates are subject to revision when current estimates are made. Estimates for losses from all causes are subject to revision in next year s "Meat Animals, Production, Disposition, and Income". No revision to predator or non-predator losses is planned. and Goats Death Loss May 5 18 NASS, DA
