[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1628191, member: 9267"] So the quarters are full but the teats are not? It does sound like they're blind which likely means blocked... scar tissue. Now anyone who's anyone will tell you if heifer calves suck on each other that can happen, but it's pretty rare if it does & I've never heard of *2* quarters on one heifer calving in blind. If there's mastitis clots or a 'pea' in there blocking flow you can often feel it from the outside of the teat. That's removeable, though it might take a bit of work, and doesn't usually cause the 'slack teat' effect. [/QUOTE]
