[QUOTE="u4411clb, post: 1081351, member: 17248"] Fix yourself a setup where you can keep and develop 10% of your herd in replacement heifers and you will not worry about a cow lasting 20 years or at least very rarely. That would mean if you have 10 cows then you would keep 1 heifer a year and if you have 100 cows you would keep 10. Once you get that process started and with good bull selection you will have maybe a small handfull that make the cut for 20 years but not enough to choose based on that. If she is good enough to always make the cut for 20 years you will have so many of her daughters and grand daughters and great grand daughters you won't mind moving her along anyway. [/QUOTE]
