[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14556"] If the old girls feet, legs and udder are still sound, they haven't started loosing teeth and can still maintane theor body condition while feeding a good calf, breed back on time and carry the calf, why get rid of them? Ours get a physical each spring post calving, checking there teeth primarily. If they are solid, the next time they are looked at for culling is at prg check time. If they're open the leave, if not they stick around for another year. I value those old cows, they are the money makers, lower feed requirements, reliable at calving, settle easily, and obviously they're pretty good cows or they wouldn't have stuck around this long. dunmovin farms > At what age does a cow usually > quit having calves?
