[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 341697, member: 2308"] Udder size doesn't necessarily mean much. I've seen cows with tiny neat little udders raise exceptional calves, and cows with big huge udders raise teeny little rats. Watch the calf, especially when he is sucking. If he switches teats quickly after he starts sucking, and then goes quickly from one to the next, odds are that she doesn't have much milk. He should look "full" in the flank when he is finished. Also, if he acts lethargic instead of bouncing around like a normal calf it could mean she doesn't have enough, that could mean he is sick too. [/QUOTE]
