My guess is 25.
Those appear a tiny bit more generous than Shane would cut them - however I never had an issue getting Shane's cuts down to target thickness...

It's 40 tops, all 5mm which makes batch processing convenient. These were on their way to Gibson when I rescued some for 'proper' usage...;)

How does Bow River compare with Shane in terms of run-out, silking, etc?

It's good wood, listed in the A+ category, perfect for my needs. I'm not sure if it will be a regular offering there as this was a random sort of deal. I was there buying a new bandsaw and basically tripped over a pallet of it, so of course I had to take some home...
