[QUOTE="Jake, post: 119774, member: 4"] Mastitus or not you cannot assume in an animal that your purchasing or thinking on using for a brood cow that she won't pass on that type of udder. Just because the udder isn't hanging on the ground doesn't mean that it's not a crappy udder. SHE IS NOT brood cow quality simply because of udder quality. But her appearance of a possible hard keeper gives her 3 strikes she's out. Yes she started with one strike because she was a purchased replacement that you can never be 100% sure of how she shall perform. If a boughten cow gets two strikes it is often times they are her fifth strikes because of the previous owner and there is NO reason for a 5 year old cow to have 2 strikes on her. Some may disagree but if your trying to bring in a brood cow that is going to IMPROVE YOUR HERD you have to be overly strict so to not compromise the quality of animals you already have. If your compromising anything with improvement you are no long improving! [/QUOTE]
