[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1658724, member: 40587"] A lot depends on the breed, too. Seems like dairy and dairy-cross cows don't last very long... 6 or 7calves? Criollo cattle, like Longhorn, Corriente, Piney Woods, etc, will calve in their 20's. I have had Brahmas too, calving at 15 yrs plus. Several on here have mentioned culling one on up there in age while it is still in good condition, before it misses or slips a calf. My granddaddy used to sell them with their 10th calf on their side bred back, if it was one we had raised. no matter how good a shape she was in or how good a calf she had on her. 8th calf at the side if it was a cow he had bought and didn't really know how old it was and/or how many calves it had produced. Bottom line is, there is no one , best answer. Ever how many people are on here, is about how many different opinions and ideas you will get. And, most everyone will give advice based on what has worked for them over their years, and with a lot of them, decades of experience. [/QUOTE]
