Our oldest is 11 she's Hereford/Angus. She's had a calf every year and I've only seen her not breed back right away once. Took the bull two heats to settle her a few years back. She's never been lame yet. We're hoping to get one more calf out of her in 2017 she's AI'd to Durango 44u. We'll probably retire her after this year.
What type of feed does she get primarily?
She's a pretty spoiled cow and to be honest I am not sure if what I feed her would effect her being able to be bred so please don't be shy to criticize.
She is on pasture for about 8 months out of the year. The other 4 months is during the winter. She is still on pasture but the grass isn't doing much for her. She always has access to a round bale if she doesn't have a large amount of grass to graze on. It's good quality and sometimes silage.
She is also given grain everyday :help: I'm a sucker!!! I give her and 2 other cows a bucket each morning.
We provide the licks that were recommended by the feed store.
She doesn't look over weight. To me she looks just right. But maybe some would say I overfeed?
