[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 925555, member: 9096"] I have a line that is long lived... the first one lived to be 15, had 14 calves, I have 2 of her offspring, one is 8 years old and the other is a granny, who is now 16 and has her 15th calf, I have 2 daughters from her as well, one is 7 and makes a beautiful calf every time, bull or heifer, the other is a yearling heifer (the fat one if you've seen it). I give Rosie (aka Oldilocks) a bucket of grain on occasion now as her teeth are pretty bad. What really scares me is that I was in high school when she was born, and when her calf of this year is her age, I'll be 50. I figure the old girl still has a couple calves left to give, though I think she does better on hay than on grass, especially shorter grass, so I might fence off a piece for her and the yearling heifers to graze in peace after breeding time. Rosie typically was a 2nd cycle cow, but with the addition of a bit of grain she's been catching the first time around again, and raising the best calf of the year last year, a 675 lb WW heifer. Udder and hooves are as good as when she was 2 years old Here's Rosie's mother as a yearling [url=http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v153/Rx7man/Moo/?action=view¤t=JosieScan1adj.jpg][img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v153/Rx7man/Moo/th_JosieScan1adj.jpg[/img][/url] Rosie, at 15 years old [url=http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v153/Rx7man/Moo/?action=view¤t=IMG_6910-1.jpg][img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v153/Rx7man/Moo/th_IMG_6910-1.jpg[/img][/url] Daughter with granddaughter [url=http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v153/Rx7man/Moo/?action=view¤t=IMG_7081.jpg][img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v153/Rx7man/Moo/th_IMG_7081.jpg[/img][/url] [/QUOTE]
