[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 1058029, member: 1682"] Do you think it might get better the 2nd time around? :lol2: I think it was 5 or 6 years ago, had a spring cow, about 6 years old with April steer calf, real aggressive little bugger - but stubborn. Only would suck 1 back teat for the first 6 weeks. You can imagine what kind of horror show that was to deal with. Udder went all to h3ll, continually milking out and treating and smothering the 'preferred' teat with every unappetizing concoction I could think of. Calf only started sucking all 4 quarters (how much they were milking at that point, I don't know) a couple weeks before I shipped both of them in the fall. Any mastitis problem, I've always hit it early with milking out and antibiotics. The real bad cases will lose those quarters, but do compensate in the others. Lots can make it on 3 teats, very few on two (except the heavy heavy milkers). Best to not even make the work stick around for another year and just ship them. [/QUOTE]
