[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 125236, member: 57"] i voted for sell. imagine that. as long as the calves are nursing by themselves, let her stick around if she does a good job. they will normally nurse the smaller ones and have no problems and then move on to the big ones if they are still working. The problem(s) with big teats besides calves not being able to suck on them is b/c of that they tend to get mastitis in them and they keep getting a little bigger each year at calving. then the cows start stepping on them and you have to doctor them when they get infected. so in my opinion big teats are a nuisance and should be sold and although they may not show back up in the heifer, they are still lurking in the gene pool. if you are considering selling her, now or in the near future (like spring) is a good time to do it in my opinion.
