[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1192562, member: 12607"] Sometimes, previous undetected bouts of mastitis result in the teat canal being filled with scar tissue. Have, on occasion had some that were so big, and had such a firm keratin plug in the teat orifice that the calf couldn't get any milk; usually don't stick a cannula up in there except as a last resort...usually can manage (though sometimes not without difficulty) getting 'em milked out, and usually after that, the calf can take it from there. Have one cow here with a front quarter that has a 'blind' teat - canal is firmly scarred in all the way up into the gland; she still raises one of the best calves in the herd, so she gets to stay. Had one several years ago that had 3 scarred-in teat canals and only one patent teat - and it was too big for the baby calf to get onto. Had another cow lose her calf, and we just grafted ol' one-tit's calf onto her and sent the other one on to town. [/QUOTE]
