I may have dropped the ball on this one. I have an F-1 braunvieh x charolais heifer, that will calf any day. She is about 27 months old and a great looking yellow female. While looking her over yesterday, I noticed she only had one teat on the left side. No nub or scar, just one well shaped teat. The right side 2 perfect teats. Will this be a problem? Anybody else have this experience before?
The dam of this heifer is a fantastic, moderate framed Charolais. Raises a fine calf every year and breds back in 30 to 45 days after calving. I hope the heifer will have no problems raising a calf. If she does a good job, I'd like to keep her. I guess one should consider most of her off spring terminal calves. She is bred to my 7/8 angus heifer bull.
