[QUOTE="dun, post: 790452, member: 34"] Udder quality without mastitis/disease having an affect is about 99% (maybe more) genetic. If you plan on retaining heifers from this cow breed her to a bull that puts good udders on his daughters. The best udder bull we've used is Basin 79E. We had a cow that as a first calver had an acceptable udder, she had a heifer sired by 79E. The next year her udder blew out and was pretty saggy, as a 4 year old it was so bad that the rear 2 quarters hung almost to her hocks. She raised good calves and never had a problem injuring her udder but it was horrible. She went down the road and we still have that first heifer. She just had her 7th calf and her udder is just as tight and solid as she had as a first calver. It's larger but still tight and symmetrical. [/QUOTE]
