[QUOTE="Jake, post: 49371, member: 4"] we have some cows around that have to be 16 years old. They still produce and hold up condition. They are some OLD mamas that still produce so why get rid of them? It's also a better for us to keep our open cows and move them to the next breeding season because it's cheaper to keep that cow through the winter and calf her out again as to buy a replacement 4 times what she's worth open and try to make that work? do the math is just doesn't work out. It takes 3-4 years to get any money out of her and she doesn't have your genetics that you've worked so hard to get. Keep her a year or two til you can replace her with a heifer of your own. So once they get to be an old crowbait or are really screw ups they don't get culled right away here. [/QUOTE]
