We figure around 10 years old, on AVERAGE, is when they will decline with milk production and mobility. There are plenty in our herd older than that, and we move a number of them alot younger than that, but that is, at least in my mind, a good number to figure on. We save 10% of our herd size in heifers to breed, so I think that works out to about 10 years average age of the herd, give or take. Our oldest is going to be 17 in a couple months and is still walking fine and is bred. Eventually though their teeth and legs wear out. Midwest cows will make it longer than western ones in my experience, mostly because they are babied along through the winter more. Bred cows are going to continue to be good property in coming years- I would go after the deal you are looking at! Good Luck!
