Can anyone help me out on this? I have a really nice first calf heifer that bagged up like any other expecting moma before calving-a few weeks after the calf was born I noticed that her two front quarters looked like they had dryed up. She is only milking from the two back quarters. The calf has not grown out like he should. I'm sure some of you guys have probably had this happen before. Is she worthy of another chance at calving? Is there a possibility that she may have milk in all quarters the next pregnancy or is this it? I'm kind of afraid that she won't. What might cause this to happen? I should mention this to my vet but forgot about it the last time I saw him.
Her mother is a good milker and I just sold her sire to another breeder. We never had any problems with his daughters before. I'm wondering if this is hereditary or what? Thanks for your input.
