[QUOTE="redcowsrule33, post: 1776889, member: 8629"] In my experience, pretty good odds the calf will have some version of her dam’s udder but not always. I have two full sisters whose dam, granddam and great granddam were all phenomenal calf raisers but they ended up being culled late in life for poor udders. One is being culled this year at the age of 7 as I am afraid that if her udder gets any worse I will have a bottle calf. The other has a nice udder that looks like it should hold well at the age of 6. I have had the same experience with another cow family. [/QUOTE]
