[QUOTE="Sage, post: 473463, member: 5352"] Stocker Steve, the crossbreds seem to hold up better, I guess you could say in geneal this is a fact. I know some reg cows in prod 15yrs but they should have gone to the sale several years ago. An old reg cow does good things for the numbers even if production is below average. We have a crossbred cow (F1) that is 11 in 2008, has a MPPA of 105, WR 107, BR 97. She has an average calving interval of 362 days weighs 1262lb and weans 53% of her body weight averaged over he lifetime. She puts many registered cows to shame. I would love to have a whold herd of cows like this but then I guess I wouldn't be selling registerd stock either. [/QUOTE]
