[QUOTE="Rustler9, post: 306217, member: 440"] We have several older gals in our herd that are still going strong. We have bought older cows from time to time and been able to get some good genetics that we didn't have. Many times these will be cattle from a breeder that we know so we aren't concerned about getting problem cows. I bought a King daughter at the sale in Missouri in September, she's twelve years old, looks like she's five, heavy bred to a good bull and I have next year's mating planned. Should get several more calves from her. As long as you feed the old girls good, they usually do fine. Of course, our breed of choice is known for longevity and productivity. I hear folks talk about selling their old cows " 8 to 10 years old" and smile. To me they're just getting started good. [/QUOTE]
