She is a nice cow and just the right amount of flesh on her. I am going to guess a 6-7 year old. I don't like cows that look like the need to go to weight watchers. If you can get a cow that fat there is a reason for it.
Good guess on age, she was born in 2009 I use the first number of their Identification is the year they were born. Some of my cows get very fat some times of the year because they need reserves when it gets tough. If I need to feed hay when they are nursing a calf, I do that because I need the calves to gain weight in order for me to make my contract weight of steers. I will separate the cows with steer calves from the cows with heifer calves and those with steer calves will be on the best pasture.
