How long does a dairy cow live?

The age of a dairy cow varies a lot. Here on our dairy, we’ve had a lot of cows live to be 13 or 14 years old, which is a really old cow. The age that they live to actually mostly comes down to if they’re a viable dairy cow or not and when they hit that point and they’re not a viable dairy cow, they move on and they’re harvested and their body is used for many different things that go into our lives and our society. Very, very little is ever wasted from a cow, she gives us a lot.
