I don't know if I should worry or not--my black cow Lady gets absolutely huge with milk!! She looks like a holstein!! Now her calf is 1 month old and as I have suspected he is not using her left front quarter--the other 3 are starting to go down but it is staying large. What could be the reason?? and should I be worried?

Have you checked it for mastitis? There may be mastitis or an infection in that quarter that is keeping in swollen.

If she will let you, try to milk it out, if not, maybe you could get a drain put in so that the pressure can be relieved. They will sell the instrument at the local farm and ranch store, I can't remember what it's called, someone will know what you are talking about though.
P.J.
