[QUOTE="Lannie, post: 1816051, member: 8202"] The only time I've ever heard of this is either from something nursing on the heifer (but you said that didn't happen), or mastitis. It's rare for an unbred heifer to get mastitis, because they have such small teats and the plugs are usually very "plugged." It's not like they can get all that contaminated from lying in a dirty spot. And especially in the winter when there isn't a big fly problem. I'm stumped, but if she were mine, I guess I'd dry treat her (with dry cow formula teat infusions) in hopes of averting damaged or blind quarters when she finally does calve, and then cross my fingers. Apparently, her teat plugs have been removed somehow, and some bacteria got in there, but HOW is the million dollar question. [/QUOTE]
