Yes, This is my first time milking, it is fun, Beauty(my Doe)was a bottle baby and had her udder touched from birth so she tolerates it ok, I thought I could do it without a milk stand, I am finding I am either wrong or she still needs more time to get accustomed to me milking her twice a day? I have a friend willing to loan me a stand and I will just keep working with her 
Thanks everyone! |
Glad to hear things are going so well. Yes, a milkstand will make milking so much easier.......I have some mature does who are absolute angels on the stand, but try to milk them off the stand and...  Introducing does back into the herd has not been a problem here, a few headbutting contests till they settle in maybe, but nothing serious.
