[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1564938, member: 22072"] Probably what has happened is sometime when this heifer was being weaned, another nursed on her. It ruins udders... I'd get rid of her if they don't start working. What will happen is she'll have a calf and they'll work on the front nonworking ones and lose out on getting colostrum in the critical time period... I've seen calves almost starve to death nursing on nonworking teats. My vet always recommends having a non worker removed to keep this from happening. But since yours has 2, i'd sell her after this calf... [/QUOTE]
