Saw an excellent example of how easy it is to screw up udders. I milked at hte dairy this morning and a whole bunch of heifers had rear teats that grew so close together that the touched for their entire length.
He's he story. They had an excellent high milking cow with great conformation except for one small problesm. Here rear teats were so close together they touched for their entire length. She was AIed to an excellent bull and had a bull calf that they kept for breeding. hat bulls daughters are just entering production this year and sure enough, every one of them has the same teat structure. hey kept another bull out of a different cow sired by the same bull and the teats of his daughters are well spaced. It will be interesting to see how many generations it will take to breed those screwed up teats out of the herd.
