[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14560"] I agree with Dun. There are several examples of cattle breeding successfully into their twenties. One old Simmental cow entered a flush program when she was about 18 or 19--and was successfully flushed several times! I was called out to a farm a few years back to see a cow who was "choking" with feed stuck in her esophagus. She was a 28 year old Hereford with few/no teeth left. The farmer didn't want to cull her because she was pregnant. So as long as her udder, feet and teeth are holding up, her age shouldn't be the only deciding factor in culling, unless you're pressed for space and have some good heifers coming up! [/QUOTE]
