[QUOTE="lms0229, post: 1628343, member: 28722"] Yeah I have had other dairy cattle and know how to tell with the various issues. I even do special hand mixed feedings based on their stage of pregnancy and make my own calcium and magnesium and other vitamin mix for right before and after calving to prevent further issues. I took a much harder look and I am not seeing teat openings. I never thought to check as her teats look fully developed and she has never had malformed or extra teats. It like everything is there except an opening. That's probably why the dairy farmer got rid of her as a calf because she doesn't really have any other problems like edema or high scs counts. I assumed because she was on the smaller side that it was the reasoning for getting rid of her. Its so odd. When my vet gets back into town I plan on calling him to inquire because I have never seen what appears to be fully developed teats without openings. Baby heifer doesn't appear to have any issues with hers from what I can tell...though she is solid red with blue eyes! I'm sure the eyes will change but wow its crazy to see. [/QUOTE]
