[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1399514, member: 25884"] On occasion we will see bloody quarters on a fresh cow, some really red. It could have been bruised but sometimes there are just blood vessels that have ruptured. If the milk is looking okay now I wouldn't be too concerned. Someone might have butted her, she might have slipped and gone down hard on the udder. If it is not hot, or hard, or showing any mastitis it is not gangarene. I would say that either she was injured or something caused the vessels in the udder to jusr burst and that's where all the blood came from. Not much else you can do but what you did. The one you had last year that you described sounds more like gangarene mastitis. Did part of the udder slough off? Some times they will just get a real bad staph or strep infection and it will cause mastitis that will eventually cause the quarter to dry up. The gangarene kind gets really disgusting looking and stinks, and it will actually separate and come off the udder. Any mammal can get it, not as common in beef as in dairy, but not real common in them either. I've seen 2 cases in 40 years. [/QUOTE]
