[QUOTE="hurleyjd, post: 647849, member: 4674"] I had one Jersey cow that I raised after quiting the diary. She was 14 years old when I sold her and she had rasied a calf every year. Calved about every 11 months. She weighd 800 lbs and weaned caalves nearly the same as her weight. Sure would like to have a herd all ike her. I am not a novice on cows. I have had cows for over 54 years. I do know some things about udders on cows. You cannot lump all udders together and say that the older they get they will go bad. Matistis is not caused by a udder staying to full to long. It is caused by infections from the cows surroundings. I have seen as many udders go bad on beef cows as I have diary cows. I have three purebred Red Angus that will be culled because of brokedown udders. This is their second calve. These cows came from a reputable Red Angus Breeder. An udder that will break down has been about bred out of the diary breeds but is still around in the beef breeds. I will have to wait and see how mine turn out as anyone that keeps a heifer calf for replacement has to do. Some of the best genetics have duds every now and then, you do not hear about them because the breeders do not talk about them. [/QUOTE]
