[QUOTE="Rosielou, post: 991844, member: 17488"] inyati13, thank you for your input, I enjoyed reading! I had known that bad genetics can be thrown around in a gene pool, as colors can, but I wasn't sure about udder attachment. How long does the possibility last that a wild gene can get thrown in/passed down before it is bred out? Or is there always a possibility of things like this? Sorry for asking so many questions, pretty much anything and everything about genetics interests me. TennesseeTuxedo, I have read Milkmaid's post about health issues, but a thread discussing only udders would definitely be useful. But I should've figured as much that this /could/ be genetic, but oh well, it's the first we've experienced. Although, this is the first heifer we've kept out of her mom because she usually gives us bull calves. Fortunately, her udder does not hang lower than her hocks. Banjo, :lol: love that analogy! Fits with cattle just as well! [/QUOTE]
