[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1183428, member: 9096"] Me too! I do like to see the improvement in even a couple of generations,... But you age quickly when you have cows that live to have 16 calves. Case in point? My first 'pet' cow was Josie, born in 1991, Her last granddaughter was born last year... I have 6 grand daughters and all but one are 5 years old or less,.. so after 23 years I'm just starting to to see what they can do. I also have 3 great grand daughters and 1 great-great-granddaughter,.. By spring 2016 I will have 4 generations of them here!.. Now if those 5 young granddaughters all have the life expectancy of their mother, I'm going to be 54 by the time I am through with the 3rd generation!... If I keep their later heifers, that'll put me at 70 when I'm done with the 4th... Of course by that time I'll probably have animals in the 10th or 15th generation as well... And all of that is assuming I live my 3 score and 10! [/QUOTE]
