Being fairly new to the world of large animals and, in particular cattle, has it's moments. A couple of months ago one ol' cow developed mastitis and wouldn't let her newborn nurse her. So, we penned them both, started feeding the calf with a tube and milking the cow. She was in rough shape and it required using a long, blunt infusion needle to aspirate the milk ducts and take some pressure off her udder. Once she was cleared out, she milked pretty easy for a range cow...of course, she was in a squeeze chute. The first time I milked her it startled me just how warm her udder and teats were. Looking back, I don't know exactly what I was expecting but it sure wasn't that...
Randy- Did you see the show in PBS about competition for showing cows and steers? Very interesting. Lots of udder photos..
