[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1660769, member: 17956"] It takes an exceptional cow for me to keep her last 10. I’m literally hoping for heifers out of her to keep her that long. Reasons I sell cows by 10 1. They still have some considerable value at that age compared to a gummer. 2. Young cow herd is always more productive 3. Young cows breed back better and hold weight better on my winter feeding plan (which is roll out less hay than they really need and Mae em clean it up 4. You get in a routine of keeping x amount of heifers every year, and selling x amount of cows plus your “problem” cows. 5. Keep heifers out of the oldest cows, they had the genetics to survive my management. Hopefully their calves will to. [/QUOTE]
