Without knowing the state-bred incentives other states offer breeders I can't comment on Louisiana's, and how they rank in terms of generosity, but here they are:

But to the OP's point, my gut feeling is that if there were data available showing the percentage of each year's foal crop that ended up in kill pens within the first four years, Louisiana would rank near the top. And this, of course, points not to the number of foals dropped, but to their quality.
