[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1549804, member: 37967"] Happy New Year to you all. Now to the 16 year old cow. I hear all kinds of talk “that bull isn’t proven” etc. well how about the cow? How can you truly know if a cow can perform if you don’t keep them around? I’m not talking about keeping a non performer, but the cows that can produce a nice calf year after year without fail. The old gal we have has really good feet, a straight back, excellent disposition, raises a quality calf, and is quite healthy. She is from the BlueBlood cow family which you see at Hoover Angus. I don’t know what you are thinking, but if I see a cow with those genetics, I want to take that and strengthen them further with AI. I might be wrong, but if the dam is going strong at 16, then it would go to reason that her daughter will have those traits along with the quality traits that the AI sire brings to the table. Longevity, good feet, fertile, what’s not to like? You guys talk non stop about functionality, I think our old gal defines that word. [/QUOTE]
