She had never developed firmness in her any of her quarters like this before when she was sacking up for a calf so it caused me concern. That is why I was seeing what would come out. I used to milk this cow so I know what is normal for her.

I have a 6 yr old cow due to calve June 9 and as I was handling her today i noticed her hind right quarter has a slight firmness to it but not hard. No heat, obviously no pain since she didn't try to kick me when I was milking her to see if anything would come out. Thick yellow stuff comes out...
