[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1652876, member: 24816"] One of our better cows calved last night. I knew she was getting close but her udder wasn’t as filled as usual. Her calf was small. We have since gave it colostrum. I noticed it nursing last night and just figured she had some milk. This is her 6 or 7 calf and have had her since a 5 weight heifer. She always has had a lot of milk and we have never had to intervene in any way with her calves. This time we were suspicious as the calf seemed to be getting weaker and as soon as it started nursing this afternoon it was punching at the teat as though it wasn’t getting anything. We got her in the chute to check her udder. No milk, it felt normal in the sense that it didn’t have swelling or flatness from previous mastitis. Nothing not even any trace of moisture. We tuned the calf again and separated them will try to see if she has any milk tomorrow. Have never had a situation like this in a cow. Have had a few heifers with not enough milk Reckon she would have calved a little early and will come to milk? This is one we hate to cull, it’s one of my wife’s favorites, she’s a BWF with a black ring around one eye. My wife calls her Bug Eye. [/QUOTE]
