Age is not a factor. Reproductive ability, temperament, health, teeth, udder conformation, mothering ability and other factors are determinants to make a producer to consider stop breeding an Angus cow and ship her to the auction. Rarely are cows kept until they die of old age. If they were, and are no longer productive at ~20 years of age (plus or minus a few years), then they are no longer bred and allowed to live out their days in the pasture instead of being sent to slaughter. Though as mentioned this is rare, it does happen, especially if that cow is too special to a producer to want to let her go to be turned into dog food or hamburger.

But some breeders will keep a prized Angus cow until she dies of natural death once it seems like she can't (or it isn't worth) get[ting] one more calf out of her.
