[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 568344, member: 5106"] I have to aggree 100% msscamp. Usually their is a fluid in the udder as has been said like a syrup texture, however milk/colostrum appears 72-48hrs before calving. I posted on this before that milk/colostrum in the udder is a good indicator to how far from calving a cow is. Now this being a heifer and that you are unsure she is bred the best option would be to have herd health done on her . It is not very common for a heifer to have a blocked teat unless she was raised in awfully dirty conditions ,was subjected to very cold temps while her mammary system was developing or her teats do not close properly and leak. I don't remember ever checking bred heifers teats before buying them or selling them, fresh cows/heifers yes and they always had a scc done, but that does not mean that it is not done though. I wouldn't get to worried about her until you get a definitive answer from your vet. [/QUOTE]
