[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1327187, member: 14585"] You will need a teat knife to open the teats. Teat knives are small scalpels rounded on one side with a handle. Or perhaps you could use a stainless steel teat tube to open them, plastic teat dilaters are often too flimsy to open a teat that feels "hard" as you describe as it probably has an internal "spider" growth or a small tumor that needs to be extracted for the cow to ever give milk out of it again. [b]Did she give milk out of all 4 teats last year?[/b] If not, the teat canals might be permanently grown shut on any not in use last year. [/QUOTE]
