[QUOTE="jcarkie, post: 930004, member: 20"] if she is raising a good calf and is physically sound, she might be worth keeping. have you checked her teeth to see if she has any. i have a cow i bought as a 5-6 yr old she had her 10th calf for me last dec. she doesnt have very good teeth just nubs but she gets around good and has an excellent udder, she stays in good shape. i have 10 yr old cow that had trouble getting up after having her last calf so i am not sure i want to chance it another time. usually 10 and over you have to pay attention for signs of weakness, most of the time they will miss breeding back or the calf suffers because they can't keep condition. if an old cow gets down they are usually done .
