The end of an era on my place today as I shipped the last of my granny cows. I bought 4 older cows back in 2001 to form the nucleus of my new Luing herd. I selected on looks and was a little surprised when I discovered two were 14 and two 15 when I bought them! With no preferential treatment they went on to produce 23 natural calves between them plus another 6 by ET out of my favorite. Two were shipped open at 16 and 22 years old, the other two shipped when they turned in their first poor calf – at 21 and 23 respectively. Testament to the inherent longevity and fertility of the Luing breed.
Pictured below the one I shipped today. My old favorite at 23 years old rearing her last calf - took this picture on November 1st.
