Stripping Out?

[nehimama]

I read in a book about dairying, that you should not strip out a goat. Cows can be stripped out, but you shouldn't strip out a goat.

Can someone explain/describe "stripping out"? And explain why it's all right for cows, but not for goats?

Thanks in Advance,

OK I'm a newbie here so I could be way off but what I understand (and I got some of this from the Fias Co website) is that stripping is to pull every last bit of milk out of the udder and teat-using a stripping or pulling method on the last few PULLS. The stripping motion, as I've been shown, is actually clamping off the teat at the top and instead of closing your fist and gently squeezing with your other fingers, you slide your fingers down the teat, pushing all the milk out. As I understand it, you NEVER want to strip a goat because you can harm their udder and teats. I don't know HOW they can be harmed, exactly, but that is what I've read.

Now I don't know if it's stripping, but I don't like leaving alot to any milk in the udder. I milk as I always do. But then I hail my milk pail on a hook and the grab a little pan and milk the rest into it. I then feed it to our kitties!

It's unnecessary. And for all the doing things naturally folks, a kid or a calf neither one strips the udder or has this particular kind of motion when sucking, so why do it? Yes empty the udder. Vicki
