[QUOTE="rkm, post: 431866, member: 2727"] Hard question to answer. I have not kept up on it recently but have read stats that suggest in modern high stress dairy operations as low as one and a half lactations. But a cow fed a high roughage ration, kept off concrete as much as possible and not pushed for high production can live 12 to 15 years or even longer. When I dairyed 40 years ago you expected a cow to live 10 years or longer. [/QUOTE]
