I assume you are talking beef breeds? But for anyone interested.. we talk about Holsteins over 6 yrs old being vet's cows...That is not strictly true,some will last up to 12 and the exceptional one will go on longer. Our big problem is feeding concetrates too high in protein to try to improve milk quality (as we get good bonuses) And the fact that we have to house them for nearly 6 months every year on concrete....We have a lot of foot problems, acid burn and digital dermititis etc. When I was milking 130 holsteins, I liked to put about 30 first calvers into the herd every year and cull or sell 30 older cows..That kept my herd young and fit.
