[QUOTE="NoParticularPattern, post: 7636566, member: 50622"] Is it not more about cow longevity being best from those which calve at 24 months? So you should expect to have even more lasting 8/9/10 lactations and hence driving down CF? We manage just fine when they’re calving 22/24 months but once they start getting towards 30/36 months they struggle to even get away as a heifer, much less do several further lactations. And as much as £1200 is an excellent price for a cull, we would really rather they were dropping a few more calves and contributing to the tank every day (and I’m sure the bank manager would be far more impressed also…..)
