We've been looking at culling our last EXT cow for a couple of years. She was 12 years old last spring and her calves have been at or near the bottom on WWs for a couple of years. We got the AHIR report on WW from earlier this week and I can see why she's stayed around so long:
She's weaned 11 calves with an average WW ratio of 98 in a calving interval of 363 days. Considering her calf's performances the last two years, I was surprised to see that 98 WW ratio. But it's time for her to go.
