[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1821155, member: 42463"] I'm not saying [I]you[/I] have to do it or anything else. But I am saying that if [I]someone[/I] isn't pushing for longevity by keeping older, productive cows then longevity will decrease. If it isn't a survival advantage to be productive, and a trait that's being selected for, then that trait will become less common in the greater gene pool. So if it's illogical [I]to you[/I] then maybe I said it badly so you didn't understand. I'm sure others here, especially those that understand the advantages to retention of long lived, productive cows do understand. And yeah... there is a basis in fact. My customers were buying my product because they got better results, and they paid more for them because they made more money. The results prove out. [/QUOTE]
