[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 470364, member: 3162"] The extra teats are not something that concerns me. I have a couple with two "extra" which are essentially similar to small nodules on the udder. Some folks advise trimming them off when the calves are about 8 months old. I don't do that. It would be a discount at the sale barn. The shortened tail would be more bothersome with me. The tail is used to switch biting flies. Cows will throw their heads to ward off flies in front and switch their tail for those in back. In spite of all the efforts I go through battling flies, they are a severe problem at times. Flies can take their toil. With the discount for the extra teat, and an added discount for the shortened tail, I would think that cow could be picked up for canner or cutter prices at the sale barn. If she works for you and you got her at a bargain, just help her battle the flies. It is an added burden. [/QUOTE]
