[QUOTE="jilleroo, post: 581048, member: 8192"] Well I suppose it all depends on how worn the old girls teeth are how long they stay in good condition for.....they go at ten years old here as a general rule of thumb. Most times they look great and may go to a restocker, although at present meatworks money is outstanding so we are having a good old cleanout as we wean batches of calves. I know its like selling old mates, but they live on in their excellent progeny. Don't you all have good heifers coming on that you need to make room for? Hopefully we keep improving our genetics and selecting better bulls and want that progeny in our paddocks. Something has to give! [/QUOTE]
