Have a 6 year old red Angus dam with an ever-ballooning udder and worsening bottle teats. But otherwise she's a great cow for me in every other way, from her calves to disposition to feed efficiency. So this will probably be her last calving year. She produced a decent (so far) looking bull-calf that I'd consider holding on to, depending on how he matures. Since I would probably retain some of his heifers down the road, is this udder issue with his dam enough of an issue to just band him and move on? How much influence does the bull have on udder structure?
