Cold Hands Warm.....?
The heated milking parlor thread made me wonder if I'm the only one who warms my hands before hand milking my goat(s)?

On the *really* cold days, yes, I hold mine in front of the heater for a minute or so.

I wear gloves on the way to the barn. On really cold days, I put those hand heaters in them.

Perhaps I am anthropomorphizing, but I think my girls appreciated being milked with warm hands rather than with icicles.

LOL I just went and bought 20 (4packs) of those hand warmers for just such an occasion. LOL I don't have a heated parlor yet, but I will use an electric heater while I am in there. I am a puss when it comes to cold.

I'm willing to bet they all do.
