Udder care and hygiene in cows is important in milking, aiding uninterrupted and untainted milk production, and preventing mastitis. Products exist to soothe the chapped skin of the udder. This helps prevent bacterial infection, and reduces irritation during milking by the cups, and so the cow is less likely to kick the cups off.
Practices such as good nutrition, proper milking hygiene, and the culling of chronically infected cows can help. Ensuring that cows have clean, dry bedding decreases the risk of infection and transmission. Dairy workers should wear rubber gloves while milking, and machines should be cleaned regularly to decrease the incidence of transmission.
The black is found on the ears, eyelids, hooves, nose, on the point of the horns and they sometimes have black socks. The females can have black teats on their udders. They have long horns, curving outwards and upwards. Bulls weigh from 400–450 kg (880–990 lb) and cows weigh from 300–350 kg (660–770 lb). [4]
Cows have an average gestation period of about 283 days, but that number can change based on the breed of the cow and the sex of the calf. Even age can change how long a cow mama is pregnant.
After 1900, black bulls were removed from the breeding system, and the black colour vanished. All Pinzgauers have the typical finched pattern in common: a broad white stripe lengthwise along the whole back. The abdomen, chest, udder, and tail are white as well. The weight of cows ranges from 600 to 700 kg, and cows average 137 cm in height.
This may require adjusting the cow’s regular milking schedule the day before and the day of the show. A full udder means having as much milk as possible without it leaking. Typically, cows are milked every 12 hours, but for a show, showmen often "bag" the cow’s udder, meaning the cow may go 14–16 hours between milkings.
