[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1851581, member: 42463"] There are a few reasons I look at the sire's dam when I'm considering using semen, and her udder is one of those things. And it follows that with a bull prospect I would be looking at his sire and that sire's dam for udder quality. But six years old and having problems is problematic. If you are willing to cull those that don't make the cut you might get 25/50% with bad udders unless there are bad udders on both sides, and then it could be more. A lot depends on your calf's sire and what his genetics are. It's easier to just move on... [/QUOTE]
