Has to be an Exceptional cow for us to put them back to the bull at 12yr old, by the time they have had 9mths and raised the next calf they can change! Bit like sheep! Saying that had the oldest cow on the farm away on Monday, just short of her 16th birthday had 13 calves regular as clockwork and calf was normally in the top 3. If only they were all like that!I looked at my list of problems and 11 years of age seems to be the time here when most appear.
I have cows a lot older than that but not that many
A few of us were discussing this and think that in time they will be culled for age like sheep are
