[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1789446, member: 25884"] When we get a cow like that and she is in a field close enough to get her in the barn, I run her up the chute.... put cannula's in the un-nursed teats and drain them completely once... it takes the pressure off, and usually the teats will be softer and the calf will "get it" and then manage those other teats. And sometimes the cow just makes too much milk and becomes a 3 teat cow... if the calf grows good then not a problem. Every situation is different and every cow is different. Just need to watch keeping any replacement heifers out of a cow with extremely big teats/udder.... [/QUOTE]
