Thumbs up I Got A New Milker!!!!!

She is 3 years old, her name is Irene, she is a beautiful nubian/pygmy (kinder)
she had never been milked, but her babies did not survive their first night and her owner knew I needed one and has a rule on her farm that any animal who cannot be productive for them needs to find a home where she is needed...(they already had a milker) she is amazing, she loves attention, gives kisses and the best part is that when I put her in the milk stall she stood and spread her legs alittle and was completly relaxed the whole time as if she had done it all her life,,,she is giving about 1/2gallon per day!

Wow that is great, I am going to print this out and take it to the barn and read it to some of my ladies and let them know that others think milking is ok. LOL
