We had a 24 yr old Sugar Ray X Angus that had a calf every year except one and that was because we kept her open and flushed her 3x's. Flushed her every year after that and AI'd her every time (stuck everytime also). She went down in pasture a year ago with a calf on her at 24. Loaded her in our pickup and brought her home and she died 2 days later. The greatest maternal Sugar Ray cow we could ever have owned. She still flushed 5-6 #1's every time. The vet told us he had never seen a cow hit mentapause but thought this one would. He just laughed every time we flushed.

We have a great old cow, she is 15 years old this year. has never missed having a calf and acutally had a few good ones, we did cull her first calf from herd this year :(  this old cow was my twin brothers first ever show heifer and we learned how to halter break and show on her and another heifer that year, i think we were 9-10. my brother has a 3 yr old that loves this old cow. the cow is all grey in the face and still a boss cow, not so much a lead cow any more but still a great cow.

Our oldest cow is a '93 model angus cow AAA # 12070628. I looked at our records and when she calves at the end of next month she will have had her 7th consecutive AI calf, we AI all our cows on a timed AI program. She still produces in the top 25% in our herd and supper easy to maintain.

I got a charXholstine that is 20. She looks like crap, and always had, but she raises one hell of a calf.

those char x Holsteins are golden. some of the best cows we have now were out of a char x holst. 50/50 cow. milk good, calve unassisted, the calves have been fairly stout, they can throw some cool color patterns too. this a calf who is 1/8 char and 1/8 Holstein an his mommy

If you are a simmental breeder then you know Perfection that is the donor down at Grindstone Creek Farms in Missouri, her mother  owned  by a nebraska breeder, Maxine A231 i believed was being flush up to the day she died around 20 years old!
