[QUOTE="chriskelly65, post: 1627572, member: 40047"] I have a cow, (approx. 12 years old) who always has one giant teat that the calves can't use for a while after birth. This is an inherited trait. Her grandmother, her mother, and she all had it. The calf is nursing on other teats and getting milk. Should I worry about this teat, even tho she does it every year? My husband (newly retired with all of this time on his hands) won't let it go. As you can see we keep our Black Angus cross cows for a lifetime. Our small herd, is generational to us. They have great dispositions and we keep 3 breeders at a time, all related. This will probably be her last time as she is starting to show her age. Her grandmother lived to 18, and had a calf every year until 17. Don't want to be an alarmist, but need to pacify the husband. Thank you. ( My cows are all basketball players. Grandma was Michael Jordan, have Scottie Pippen, Manu Ginobili, Kobe, Kawhi. Just thought I'de pass that along. Also, the cows are MINE, not his [/QUOTE]
