[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1821096, member: 12520"] I don’t wait around to see how long a cow will make it before she lets me down. I have enough let me down for enough reasons to not add old age to the list. In my situation (climate, geography, performance expectations etc. ) I have found it best to sell the cow before old age sets in, generally 13-14 is old enough. I know we all have or have had a great old cow(s) that produced great calves for a long time so the thought is to keep her doing it until she can’t. But if we are keeping replacements our herd should constantly be improving, and we should be producing replacements at least as good as the aforementioned cow(s). [/QUOTE]
