[QUOTE="Dsth, post: 1815976, member: 38038"] I was born and raised in the dairy business until I got out in 2001. sound like a typical problem of her getting sucked on by a herdmate. never had a heifer with an udder problem like you describe make it into the dairy herd. if she does get bred and have a calf, I would expect mastitis problems or blind quarters. the teats should have a natural sealed plug in the opening to keep germs and bacteria out. once that is removed (usually after the calf is born or shortly before) the quarter is more susceptible to infection. if she was mine, I would load her up.
