[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 789378, member: 8265"] I did some reading around the internet. As you’ll read below, a cow needs to be milked out to prevent mastitis. A calf won’t need to use all quarters of a higher producing cow, therefore higher risk of mastitis. Also if teats are larger a calf will have more trouble sucking on them. Larger udders also have more risk of injury and exposure to muck leading to higher risk of mastitis or calf illness. [url=http://www.beef-cattle.com/beef-cow-udder-selection.htm]http://www.beef-cattle.com/beef-cow-udder-selection.htm[/url] I was curious when you described your cow’s teats as “moderate” in size. I believe compared to the illustrations in the site below, they’d be considered large.
