[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 507610, member: 3162"] I haven't kept one long for one reason or another. The one I currently have is only 4 1/2 years old. Dad had a Jersey nurse cow/milk cow that lived a very long time. I can distinctively remember 8 calves but I am sure there were probably at least 2 more - but maybe as many as 4 more. She was dried off each year and well cared for. I think age has a to do with care and the willingness to remedy ailments. Someone dealing with hundreds of milk cows at a dairy likely doesn't have the time to afford any extensive needs for each animal. JMHO That said, any cow of any breed can get injured at any point.
