[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 22121, member: 57"] Dad has a cow that is an angusXherefordxcharolais and she has two balloon teats. The front two got bigger and bigger every year. every once in a while she would have a calf that would nurse 3 of the four but i still had to keep an eye on her calves to make sure they nursed at all. shes probably the most fertile cow we have and so every year she would be so close to calving when we got ready to cull that we kept her around. she raises excellent calves with only two functioning teats but i would never keep any of her heifers. she inherited the big teat gene(s) from her dad, a charolais bull. anyway, her teats got so big that she (or another cow) stepped on them (either when she was lying down or trying to get up) and so my point is you need to cull the cow b/c she will be trouble down the road whether it is getting the calf to nurse or doctoring a stepped-on teat.
