[QUOTE="vclavin, post: 839172, member: 13613"] A friend of ours had a 19 year old cow (registered Black angus from sydenstricker herd) produce her 18th calf. I bought this heifer due to longevity... unfortunately.. she would not breed. Maybe older cows have problems getting those heifers built correctly-lol. We just sold a 1999 red angus cross cow to a cousin just out of high school. Vet said she was 8 years old....got good teeth for a few more years. I have way to many females now, so we are going to have to start selling off the oldest girls.. except for a couple, exceptional ladies,... technically, the younger girls should be better than their dams - if I did my job properly and nature cooperated.
