[QUOTE="regolith, post: 647771, member: 9267"] Just observation (I don't record which heifers have edema): I don't think it makes any difference. The first few milkings can be frustrating if the teats are swollen and she can't milk out properly... basically, if it gets to a third milking and there's still excessive swelling or she hasn't milked out properly, I give a shot of oxytocin at the start of the next milking. I don't think I've ever had to do it twice for any heifer. Once the udder is emptied the swelling doesn't come back enough to restrict milking. Mind you, you guys whose heifers are peaking at three times my girls' production might have a different story. [/QUOTE]
