[QUOTE="Ryan, post: 280902, member: 615"] Good Luck! Hope they turn out well for you. As for the original question... Personally, If I own the cow I will breed her until she fails to annually produce a live, healthy, quality calf. If she begins to slip in her reproduction then I would ship her. The ranch I work for currently has a 21 year old cow that produces, although it is probably closer to a 14-15month interval, but she has a place here forever as she is one of the bosses favorite old cows. In regards to purchasing, it all depends on the cow, previous owner, and price. I would stop around 10 years old myself, but I did try to buy a 12 year old cow this spring that i knew the breeder and the care that she had been under her entire life, and the reason for selling was drought...however she went out of my price range. Now that is not to say that if i found an even older cow, bred or in good shape, for the right price I wouldnt buy her. Mostly depends on each cow, what you know about them, and $$$. [/QUOTE]
