[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1403324, member: 25884"] We finally sold our registered red poll at 13 (or 14), and only because the arthritis in the hock joint, that had been broken 8 years earlier, was making it too painful for us to watch him getting up and down with difficulty. Every cow that had been put with him that year was bred but we just felt it was asking too much for him to go through another cold winter; when you could see that the colder temps were making it hard for him to get up. And yes, my son and I both cried when we put bubba on the trailer. Have a reg angus now that is 10, that we have used for 7 years; sold another that was pushing 10 that would have stayed longer but one day he decided that he didn't want to stay in the pasture, and after 4 times of putting him in, and then moving him to 2 different places and his liking to be elsewhere, we just said enough. Have a bunch of his daughters and granddaughters. [/QUOTE]
