udder question

[milkmaid]

I know what's desirable in a dairy cow's udder and what's considered ideal...but not what is an ideal udder for a beef cow. Anyone have a picture or two of what you consider correct?

she has a perfect udder, is just full of milk and the calf got chased away so her left side is extra full

 

[Beefy]

Agnes has a pretty good one too. took this one last summer so sorry for the poor quality. she had probably a 300+ lb heifer on her at the time.

milkmaid, as far as structure goes they are basically the same, the volume is just drastically less in beef cattle. still want adequate spacing, smaller bell-shaped teats, proportional quarters, etc

I have a donor cow that has a really nice udder. She can be viewed at this address http://chrlimousin.com/donorfemales.htm

Any comments are welcome.. Its the Red Limousin cow "Flossie"

Thanks, Bill

Milkmaid - Like Beefy said - basically the same - you want good attachments, separation between quarters, small, well spaced teats.

OK, that makes sense. Thanks
