[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10177"] Was this a fat first calf heifer? Sometimes a fat first calf heifer will develope large fat deposits in the udder, reducing the capacity to produce milk, but through lactation she should burn up the excess fat. However, do not assume it is HARD, feel of it and massage it to find any problems, as mastitis will also cause quarters of the udder to become hard, if this is the case treat it immediatly, consult your vet for treatment. You can treat with an inter-mammary infusion. You will know it is mastitis if you milk out a quarter to see if each quarter is producing normal looking, smooth creamy looking milk, not lumpy or foul smelling stuff. Good luck!
