Did she ever get any milk in her udder prior to calving?? Just curious. I only have experience with my dairy girls and it seemed odd to me that she looked like she had no milk there waiting.

The view from the back was somewhat deceptive, since she has extra, tiny teats in the back. Her bag really looked yesterday just as nice as any of the beef cattle with calves out in the pasture. But, yes, today she definitely has milk.

I noticed the extra teats but was looking more at the wrinkles. Her udder didn't look "tight".

I'm sorry the calf didn't make it. Hopefully Mom will make a full recovery for you.

Thank you. She seems to be fine today. I need to go out and move her again.

It just tightened up yesterday. If she was tamer than she is, I'd milk her out.
