What a grand old lady she is

 

[Snowhunter]

She is a grand ol Lady, thats for sure

She's somewhere between 25-30. She's due anyday and after this she'll retire from the beef herd and live out her life spoiled with my dairy cows

She's still purdy...and still producing! What a great cow! :bun

WOW oldest girl I ever saw was last year - a Dexter at 21 with calf

wow? I am shocked by that. How old to ranchers usually keep a cow going? I was thinking 10-12 years...never 20. WOW!

 

[Beekissed]

Normal, expected life span of cattle is 20-25 years. (The oldest cow on record lived to be 49 years!)

This is from an article about how current dairy and meat agricultural practices causes 25% decrease in normal life span since the norms recorded 1950s.

Those old cows can make some of the best mothers and teachers for the rest of the herd. My Uncle kept his Bulls for many years.
