Hows your Monopoly heifer milking? She doesn't look like she has much of a udder

 

[chappy6655]

I'm not sure how to tell how much she's giving, being this is our first beef calf born on the farm, but the calf seems content and from what I've felt of her udder it seems good.

I'll try to get an udder pic posted tonight, maybe someone on here can help me tell how she's milking, it's hard to tell when all you have ever had with calves are Holstiens.

as you should know- it has been proven time and time again- that udder size has nothing to do with milking ability.  It's the occurance of that udder getting filled up with milk that leads 100% to milking ability. 

Matter of fact- you should know those big floppy bagged Holstein cows don't give as much as a mid lactation 3 year old.

 

[chappy6655]

Then I would say she is milking just fine, whenever the calf is hungry there is plenty of milk for him.

Our Monopoly bred heifer had a Northern Improvement bull calf last year.  The calf has grown well just wasnt solid enough to be a show steer.  She is bred back to Dirty Harry 2 and due next week.
