[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 472771, member: 2095"] The first year is the hardest; but if they all calf out ok, rebreed, and don't fall apart in that first lactation. Those that surive to have the second calf if they don't have to walk 6 miles a day for water and have plenty of mineral and have hay when needed and enough energy and protein in their diet and keep them current on their vaccinations a few will fall out due to coming up open, bloat, or sudden illness or injury; you should still have 3/4s of them with you when they are 12 and if they come from really good stock most of those cows should still be there at 15. After that their teeth start to go and they start dropping out at a pretty fast rate, especially when competing for a slot with their (hopefully superior)heifer granddaughters. [/QUOTE]
