[QUOTE="TexasJerseyMilker, post: 1771519, member: 42782"] I found this in the Merck Manual under Traumatic and Structural Disorders of the Bovine Udder [H2]Breakdown of Udder Support Apparatus of Cows[/H2] Failure of the suspensory ligaments of the udder (usually the medial suspensory ligament) occurs gradually in some older cows, often related to overengorgement and edema, and leads to a dropping of the udder, resulting in lateral deviation of the teats and making teat cup attachment difficult. Occasionally, acute rupture can occur at or just after parturition. Animals with this condition are at high risk of developing [URL='https://www.merckvetmanual.com/veterinary/reproductive-system/mastitis-in-large-animals/mastitis-in-cattle']mastitis[/URL]. There is no successful treatment; supportive trusses generally are not satisfactory. The condition is suspected to have a genetic basis, and these animals should be removed from the milking herd. It says "support trusses" (cow brassiers) are not satisfactory, which is odd because they sure are are in women. Back in the hippy days I majored in agricultures for a while. Our professor was an older country gentleman who told it like it is. One day he was lecturing on dairy udder support and the importance of the suspensory ligament. And that cows with blown ligaments were known as 'swing bags'. Then he said "I should not say this because there are some women in the class these days . . . . .
