Guest guest Posted April 24, 2006 Report Posted April 24, 2006 Question for the cow dairy folks: Have you or have you heard of milking a cow that makes an udder but has not calved? In goats this is called a precocious udder and I've heard of high producing does that would come into milk even though they had not been bred, even heard of them being milked for prolonged periods without EVER having been bred. Sounds incredible but told to me as truth. So, my 6yr old jersey was a virgin until her only honeymoon last spring, which unfortunately did not take. She'd have been due to calve in early March. Now she's making an udder and I'm thinking of trying to milk her. She did this summer before last and we thought we had some kind of bovine immaculate conception going on, didn't try to milk her and it eventually went away.
