[QUOTE="stocky, post: 305790, member: 1150"] Advantages: You can tell what kind of calves they raise, if they have udder problems, if they suckle down, if they have fertility problems, and their behavior is already established. They will be good for another 4-6 calves, you will pay about half the price for a top young cow in prime selling condition. Disadvantages: She wont last as long as the young cow, as she loses teeth, she will have to have better feed, as the groupl gets older, there will be a higher percentage of health problems, particularly udder and hip problems. My opinion, most of the time, to me, there is more money to be made on the 7-8 year old cows. This is especially true when there is a large price difference in the older and younger cows. If there isnt much difference, go with the younger ones. [/QUOTE]
