Hermitage Farm safety composite

Hermitage Farm scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 6%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).

Hermitage Farm has fewer employees than the Horse (including thoroughbreds) producti median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 11.1.
