[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1123721, member: 22072"] We had a cow this year have a big full udder as usual for her, calf appeared to nurse, but it never seemed nursed down. Day after day i saw the calf going downhill yet the cows udder was big, so we brought them up. We could get nothing out of the udder so we took her to the vet where he found she had mastitis in all 4 quarters. He said her brood cow job is now over..We hauled her to the sale and grafted her calf on a heifer who lost her calf.. From the looks, the udder just looked engorged like every other cows with a newborn, teats were normal sized and not inflamed and swollen. All the encounters with mastitis i've had have been in just one or two teats, not all 4, this was a first. I have another cow who seems to be the same, but the calf is thriving for now. I suspect its getting enough to survive but will end up a dud at weaning time. She will also go to the sale at weaning... [/QUOTE]
