[QUOTE="dent_ranch, post: 240856, member: 4300"] i actualy have two questions that i would like some insight on. *keep in mind these are beef cattle and i know nothing about dairy farming* 1. i have a cow who has a swolen teat. it looks as if it is engorged with milk (and i can feel the milk in there) and that the calf simply isnt suckling, but when i try to milk her, nothing comes out. it seems as if the blockage never got sucked out, so the milk cant flow. if you have any suggestions on what we should do, if anything, do tell. 2. my friend also has a cow with milk problems, but of a different sort. her cow had twins, but one of them died (of unknown causes at the moment). her theory is that, like sheep, when they have twins they give each one a side (im not sure if thats true, ive never had twins before, or sheep for that matter). so, the side of the dead twin is very swolen because the cow wont let the live twin eat from that side. im not sure what to do about it, she says it is getting caught on branches and the like and the flies are getting to it.
