I thought you might like to see her again, and know she is doing well.

If I milked my cow like that I would never be able to get back up. How long does it take to mlk her.

Same here, and after someone got me up I'd have a bad case of nastyknees.
His cow must not "unload" as much at milking time as mine do.

She has been fresh since march, so her production is way down. Im only getting about 3 gallons per day now.

IM not sure how long it takes. Mabey 10 minutes.

She is so low to the ground that If I sit on anything to milk her then I am to high to reach her. I am pretty stiff when Im done, but not as bad as when I first started this spring. My legs have gotten used to it...kinda.

Maybe a bench like this would help?
