      it’s possible your operation was not average, and most dairy cows only live 5 years.

      anecdotes are not data.

        that’s what y’all scream any time you hear anything that contradicts you. have you considered that you might be wrong?

          yes, I have considered that. and every source I can find puts dairy cows at about 3 years of production, calving for the first time at about 2 years old.
