[QUOTE="greenwillowherefords, post: 55677, member: 587"] There is a difference in a tidy udder and a tiny udder. After writing the post, I realized you can only see one teat because of the placement of her leg. What I meant by a tidy udder is that it is well shaped and placed, and the teats are never ballooned. It is never pendulous. Some day I will post a rear view so you can see that it is medium sized. The more telling sign of her milking ability is the moderate condition of her fleshiness in this picture taken when her first calf was seventy-some days old. She puts it in the calf. Again, look at the calf in the picture. Doesn't look starved to me. You can put up with cows with huge balloon teats on sagging, swaying udders that won't last four years, or you can select for quality udders. I'm not going to have much luck selling bulls to folks if they see a dam with teats so big the calf can't hardly get them in his mouth. I'm not suggesting that you have problems with this kind, Texan, but I am telling you that I don't. But I'll bet you're just trying to get me going again! :lol: Thanks for the compliments. [/QUOTE]
