[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1641961, member: 24565"] Longevity search depends on your end game. Pure commercial- sell before the final decline as bred cows, fat opens or on an age to increase income and avoid tax issues. Purebred or a commercial operation that raises the replacement heifers - a no-brainer. Here, I had a list for something else: 25% of current cows are over 10 YO and go up to 14+. All are trouble free and the older they get the more valuable the heifers and the sons are to me to trial. As you mentioned - longevity is more than years. That is something you can count on. They were a total package that worked. The stupidest thing is the AAA Foundation heifer sale - you never hear about them again that I know of. They would be more practical to sell a proven cow. But that is not pie in the sky, hopes and dreams and warm and fuzzy feelings. Vane expectations sell heifers and unproven bulls - every time. [/QUOTE]
