[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 5838"] From what I've heard and from published research, there "appears" to be about 10-14 years old as the limit for usual "American" and "Continental" breeds (e.g., angus, simmental, hereford, and such). Texas Longhorns EASILY breed into their late teens, some even into mid-twenties, have 99.7% unassisted calving (University research studies), usually have a 45-65 lb. calf every year with easy, fast calving, with very few reports of any sick cows or calves afterwards. More calves, fewer vet bills, better mothering, easier calving, longer lived = more profits for the producer and fewer sleepless nights. :) [email=bill@runningarrowlonghorns.com]bill@runningarrowlonghorns.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
