[QUOTE="jersey lilly, post: 123844, member: 2258"] Our first cow that we started our herd with lived to be 19, gave us 17 calves. I only have 2 heifers that come out of her, She was one that usually had bulls. When we were about ready to retire her, I said nah, leave her..shes done us such a good job just let her stay till her days is over. Much to my surprise and hubbies as well, we went out one february morning to find her standin there with a lil black white face calf. I hadn't palpated her the previous fall, just didnt think it was possible....gave her the shots and let her out. She raised that calf just fine. But along about August we found her down and had to help her out. All I could do was sit in the truck and cry while hubby took care of things. But she lived a good long life and lotta calves. Them old ones is what puts longevity into your herd. [/QUOTE]
