[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 943039, member: 9096"] I have a bunch I keep wanting to ship, but they just keep going... you know, the ones who stretch all your fences, a mean as a wet cat after calving... those will live to 25. I have my old girl Rosie who's raising her 15th calf... I've kept a replacement for her every year for about 5 years, and apart from some arthritis in her hips and worn teeth, she makes great heifer calves (good thing, she's at a 10:5 heifer to steer ratio). I have found that if a cow makes 5 years with no problems, there's a really good chance she'll make 10 without a problem as well... the first 3-4 years are certainly the hardest. Maddy's little guy isn't a happy camper.. he's in the corral with my late calfer (due within 10 days)... he actually got a good licking from her the other day which surprised me. She's getting really oval... she's surpassed round at about 6 month pregancy and she's getting uncomfortable too... Hopefully she makes me a good belated bday present... Wonder how heavy this one will be.. there certainly hasn't been any cold weather. [/QUOTE]
