[QUOTE="greenwillowherefords, post: 61849, member: 587"] I have a cow (L1M) who is out of a bull who was put down at 15 years old because his feet finally gave out. He was a long, heavy bull. They weaned his last set of calves fall of '04. He is also the grandsire of my next herd bull. A friend has a Horned Hereford bull who is about 12 and still going strong. I hope this doesn't make anyone :mad: but I read the actual statement by a commercial cattleman out west who said that their Hereford bulls lasted two years longer than their Angus bulls under conditions where they have to travel a lot to find forage, water, and cows in heat. I don't keep them over about two years because I have a small herd. [/QUOTE]
