[QUOTE="Texas PaPaw, post: 1123720, member: 2905"] Cow calved yesterday, has larger udder and teats. Tried to milk her down so calf could nurse. 1 teat was totally plugged, couldn't get any milk out at all, other 3 teats could milk a microscopic stream but very difficult. Toughest milking cow I've ever encountered. Don't think calf could ever get enough before giving out. Any way to get them opened up so calf can get milk. Gave calf a bottle of colostrum supplement and left him with mom. Seems interested in nursing her but haven't seen it happen. Have them in trap near house. Plan to feed some with bottle and hope he gets mom figured out. If can't get him nursing mom in a week or so will sell as bottle calf. Appreciate any helpful suggestions. [/QUOTE]
