[QUOTE="cowpunk'd, post: 392272, member: 1265"] When I snuck up behind the cow and milked that quarter, I could only get one little stream of milk to come out, then nothing. I tried the other rear teat and she had lots of milk there, so it wasn't my poor milking abilities, and she wasn't holding back the milk because her calf was nursing at the same time. The teat felt normal but her udder on that quarter was very firm and obviously sore. I guess her teat or quarter could be full of scar tissue that is partialy blocking the flow, or maybe swelling? But I think to milk out the quarter I might have to insert a cannula, yikes. I will try to get a couple squirts into a glass to see if the milk is bloody or clumpy next, thanks everbody for the suggestions. [/QUOTE]
