Some questions just ain"t got a real good answer. The cow business is all ways a gamble an sometimes ya lose no matter what ya do. It"s one a them deals where it"s like 90% skill an knowledge an bout 10% luck, that last 10% ya just can"t outrun. Often any change of feed, environment, or even water source, will give a calf "the drizzlin" squirts", hauling don"t help em one bit either. After upsettin the snot out of em a ten or eleven per cent loss across 30 or so hours wus gettin off lucky in my humble opinion. An due to your possible 2 to 4% scale inaccuracy you may have lost only 6 or 7%. If ya ain"t set up to pen em for a week or so on GOOD feed then git "er done, pasture to sale, as quick as possible. Unnerstand howsomever that I never made no big pile of money in the cow business neither, but that"s the best I can offer.
