Southwest OK
I’m guessing you mean the shrink from water vapor?

cattle will drink about 1.5 gallons per 100 lbs. if a 1,000 lb animal drinks 15 gallons that’s 120 lbs

It will urinate 2 gallons, 16 lbs

Manure avg of 7 lbs

32 lbs of shrink, or 3.2% this is if they have a full day after feeding to eliminate waste.

Still need 18 lbs to get to 5%.

A pot load of cattle will lose 100 lbs every 15 minutes for the first 4 hours. Their will not be 100 lbs of water or manure on the ground under it.
