[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 210918, member: 852"] Jerry/Linda/K-Shires....quick question for ya'll. I've got two 8 month old heifers that are running around 500lbs or so. Both of them have one extra teat. Both of them are destined for the dairy sale in Jerome as springers...hopefully early next year. Everything I've ever heard says to cut that "extra" off - esp if they're going through the sale and they're not ones I'll be keeping - but I was just wondering if there were any "cons" to cutting extras off. Infection? and what's the chance of that? How about how long you can wait before doing it? I'd prolly have it done in about 2 weeks; I need to make a vet appointment for one of my older heifers for an ultrasound and I could take these two calves in at the same time. Any opinions on removing the extras? [/QUOTE]
