The gestation period for cows is 283 days or a little over nine months. Udder and teat conformation are moderately heritable, soĮnhancing teat and udder quality can be accomplished by not selecting replacement heifers from dams that have marginal teat and udder conformation. Selecting against poor teats and udder enhances profit potential by reducing the calf performance, increasing the longevity of the cow, improving the calf performances, and reducing the labor input. The selection and c ulling based on confirmation of the teats and udder may be considered convenience trait selection. The poor conformation of teat and udder can lead to increased calf sickness as teats may be contaminated with debris and mud, or calving area before the calf suckles. The cattle producers don’t have much time or labor to manage around cows that require intervention at calving to physically milk out a quarter so that the calf can suckle or save the quarter from the infection.
