[QUOTE="farmwriter, post: 755990, member: 10309"] Okay, ours is a lil different, but here goes: One of my longhorns has a nice looking udder as she prepares to calf and when she's dry, but once the calf starts nursing, the front quarters seem to stop producing. I don't know why, and her back two quarters continue to look normal. What I can tell you is that her calves have been some of the best looking feeder steers we've butchered - they really grew out well on a half-normal udder and were good sized by the time they were processed. BUT- it absolutely does not look like your pic. Rather, she sort of seems to just dry up in the front. And this year is the first she's had a heifer, so that's another issue of its own. In our situation though, the steer calves have grown out fine on 2 quarters compared to our other LH cross steers. [/QUOTE]
