[QUOTE="Ryan, post: 312650, member: 615"] I think disese resistance can play role in this, too. they are known for being very disease resistant, so in turn their immune systems do not break down or decrease in effectiveness as much as other breeds might over the lifetime of the cow. I think there are many factors to their longevity.... also coming to mind is that they were open range cattle where it was survival of the fittest and the stronger ones lived longer. [/QUOTE]
