[QUOTE="2/B or not 2/B, post: 669198, member: 7233"] My understanding is that when a cow is dry a waxy plug forms in the opening of the teat, which protects it from bacteria and irritants. The plug is good and squeezing it out for no reason is bad... I check my cows teats after they've calved (during spring vaccs) to make sure they're milking well from all 4 quarters and this is what I record. Other than that or if they look swollen/hot as dun said, we leave them alone. [/QUOTE]
