[QUOTE="Ann Bledsoe, post: 50964, member: 60"] Sometimes a high producer will do that. It happens all the time to diaryX cows that are left to raise a single calf. I just bought a 2 year old part Guernsey heifer that's dry on 1 front quarter and the other front quarter produces very little. I know for a fact that she freshened in all 4 quarters when she calved, and I have no doubts that she gave a lot more milk than what her little calf could take. The calf obviously settled on 2 quarters and by the time it was big enough to take more milk, the others had pretty well dried up. I fully expect her to freshen with all 4 quarters and make a good family milk cow. Ann B [/QUOTE]
