[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 295237, member: 1683"] Everyone who posted here is correct. The udder has rear 'bottle' teats, and is subject to mastitis in the future. The udder should, ideally, be level across the bottom with teats the size of a man's thumb. Buying a cow from the sale barn for whatever price more than slaughter, is a risky act. Her body condition indicates to me that she was a heavy milker at one time in her life, but missed a calf this year for one reason or another. Perhaps it died, and she didn't dry up too well. You certainly should keep an eye on her as she approaches parturition. You shouldn't loose money on her if you don't have high Vet. bills. DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
