[QUOTE="FlowerFieldFarm, post: 817119, member: 16324"] Hi, We brought our 3 heifers home Monday afternoon, and knew that the Guernsey/Angus was ready to pop any minute. She delivered a 95 lb bull calf at 6:00 this morning. We got the stanchion set how we needed it and got her in for her first milking. Front left quarter had very little Back left quarter had some. Front right quarter had the most. Back right quarter was plugged - got one drop. Also very firm, but not hot. Called vet - they didn't have a dialator. They had a plastic needle thing with a hole in each end that you insert into the teat to drain it. They didn't have the metal version to sell, but they sent along theirs because it was longer than the plastic with a bigger opening. Long story short, we did the plastic one first, then the metal, and got nothing. We went ahead and put a tube of Spectramast LC into the teat and gave her 10 cc penicillin. After this we did another 10 minute massage of that quarter. It still feels very full. Did I mention that although she stamped her foot several times, she did not kick or jump around. She is a keeper - I don't want to lose that quarter and have problems in the future. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
