Hi Lancemart - welcome back.
How's your herd doing?
Hereford cattle should live as long as any of the beef breeds. You can expect a cow to calve & raise a GOOD calf til 10-12 years old. Although there are many that will continue on to a lot older. I shipped an 18 year old that had 17 calves.
Most beef cattle do not die of old age. Like Crowderfarms indicated, they get shipped instead of hanging around to die of old age.
