[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 580824, member: 1682"] Look at her udder and teats. From the side, does it appear that the front teats are significantly higher than the back ones? If so, she may have very low producing front quarters, which will never improve significantly....in which case she will wean a poor calf and be a good cull candidate. No rhyme nor reason for it. We just shipped a first calver a few weeks ago...off of a terrific mother and sire, but the front quarters were basically dry after she had been lactating a few weeks after calving. :cowboy: [/QUOTE]
