Udderly EZ?

have ya'll ever seen this?

I know if you have lots of cows to milk, a surge is probably better... but for someone like me who'll never have more than three or four to milk, and that only if we get goats as well.. this is a neat thing!

and much better price than a typical milker...

Boy, thats what I need, I have artheritis in my hands and can't close them up enough to milk anymore, I wonder if it would really work ?? I have recently turned down a really nice milk cow because I just can't milk, and my sweetheart is a city boy, and can't seem to figure it out, haa

Oh boy, if this thing works as well as advertised it sure would be great to use on these little Dexters!
If anyone decides to try one, please let us know how it works.

I've got one I would like to part with. It has been gently used on goats. Only has the smaller holding bottles. You can buy larger and extra bottles. Seems to work really well. I've just decided that what little milking I do, I don't need it sitting around taking up space the rest of the time. If any body is interested let me know.

I had a call from some people wanting me to help them fix the udders after using these. Seems the continual vaccum injured the spincter at the bottom of the teat so the animals were not able to hold their milk until milking time. Leaked it out all day long. Very sore and I don't know how it healed. I didn't know what you would do to fix that......

you will enjoy it. I think you would be really disipointed in the EZ milker.....they suck. Also, to increase production, wean the calf and start milking her three times a day, then switch back to two times a day. This should stimulate her production. Hope this helps...

when I went out during the day to brush her and love on her I'd reach down and squeeze out a little... one of my girls said "isnt that wasteful?" and I explained that I was just trying to increase supply...

My baby boy is 3, but its ALL coming back to me now... ROFL
