Some might say it's from a cow being "over-milked," which wouldn't be the case of all, but from the skin on the teats getting dry and cracked, much like if your hands or feet get dry from being subject to too much water or dried out too quickly. When they get cracked, they start to bleed a little, and naturally scabs form to cover these cracks and heal them. Of course, with cows having to be milked regularly, the producer or hired hand caring for these cows need to address this problem by putting a kind of lotion suitable for udders to help both heal these "wounds," and moisturize the skin on the udder.
