[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 608831, member: 852"] That's really bad frostbite. Yowch. They look like dry cows? If they're dry cows with a few months to calving they may be okay, if they're lactating they'll probably lose all affected quarters to mastitis. You ought to consider changing your winter managment (ie bedding/shelter area) since I've only rarely seen frostbitten teats on mature cows, and it gets down to -20'F here not including windchill. Most of the time I see frostbite on fresh heifers; when it's mature cows they're always heavy milking, currently lactating cows. Nice pics though, I'm adding them to my problems folder. :P ;-) [/QUOTE]
