[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 123810, member: 852"] Repro problems or low milk production. Boss sent a young cow to the auction last week. First calf last September, calf born dead, cow seen in heat over and over, never bred back, finally got to the point that she wasn't milking heavy enough to pay her way. (I suggested she be culled 6 months ago.) Had an udder on her that I think you beef folks would like, or maybe not. So small if you dried her off I think she would have passed for a heifer. Usually if they have an udder that small they're there because they don't milk well enough...and where a dairy cow is supposed to "look like she's milking herself to death", as one fellow put it, if she's in decent body condition she obviously ISN'T.
