[QUOTE="jcarkie, post: 495884, member: 20"] all cows are pretty swollen when they give birth,but some cows have really large teats.i don't worry about even the really large teats unless it goes past 2 weeks then it is a problem. as long as the baby is getting them even one at a time. by that time the swelling is gone and the calf is strong enough to get all it wants. baby calves will nurse in small amounts at first and very often, as they get stronger they nurse longer and less often. they may only nurse one teat at first if the cows give alot of milk it can take a few days to get all four. i have seen them nurse only one side for several days. best to leave them alone and let them work it out. if the calf gets up and seems strong and healthy.
