[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 394754, member: 2308"] When do you draw the line on udders? Here is a 5 year old cow. She has 1 teat that is too big, but then, we have had her 2 years and the calf has no trouble getting on it once he requires the milk. Now I wouldn't likely keep a heifer out of her, but she has the potential to raise a phenomenal calf. She probably won't last into old age, but cull cows are cheap, and good replacements aren't (and the replacement could have worse issues than this cow has). She will stay around until she proves she has issues, and then we will either pull the calf, adopt it and cull her in the spring, or spend the time to get it on her and then cull her in the fall [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v485/randiliana/DSC03193.jpg[/img] And here's her calf, Born March 30/07.
