[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 441712, member: 852"] It's not unusual for them to start bagging up about halfway through gestation, and sometimes fluid can be squeezed from the teats (not a recommended practice, since it predisposes the animal to infection). It wouldn't be "milk" and I wouldn't try drinking it :P, but there may be fluid. It is not overly common as she's so far from calving, but it isn't abnormal either. Wouldn't get too concerned about it. Here's a heifer that's 5 months bred... they don't usually show this much of an udder as short breds, but even this isn't abnormal.
