Of course when you say "cow" you are talking about a female that has had at least 1 calf,with that in mind its not really the age of a "cow" that is important.With the exception of a very old cow the real driving factor is how much freezer space do you have? A cow will dress out to about 45-60% of live weight in take home meat so generally age is not the factor. Quality of the meat is dependent upon your taste preference and how long and type of feeds used to "feed out" the animal before slaughter
