[QUOTE="MLFuller, post: 1641979, member: 34793"] Oldest cow we have on our place is an '07 model. When we see dispersal sales, we spend a lot of time sorting through their old cows. An old cow with a solid production record, keeps condition and has a good bag is priceless in our eyes. When we first started buying cows, we usually bought bred heifers. Now, we almost have exclusively stopped buying young cows and focus on buying anything 5+. A lot more predictability and proven genetics. We think of it sort of like buying a bull. Rather have a herd bull out of an old proven cow rather than a first calf heifer. [/QUOTE]
