[QUOTE="Andyva, post: 1234022, member: 1022"] Extra teats don't kill calves, but cows with teats that are too big to suck will kill calves. We usually cull cows that look like they are going to develop teats that a calf can't suck. It's always been a progressive condition where the teats get bigger with each calf the cow has. Another one of those instances where a notebook is handy. If extra teats are a real problem for you they are easy enough to remove when the heifer is young. When she is starting to bag up is too late for that, though. The condition is pretty common in dairy cattle. The problem there is that they only have four inflations per stanchion, so they remove extra teats on heifers. [/QUOTE]
