Try milking right into a filter over your bucket and there will be no more hair

Greetings,

Reading these emails really makes me appreciate my Lady Leche. The rare

time she really needs to do business when I am milking, she dances

sideways, so I know ahead of time there is a problem. She always gives

me time to move my bucket. But, I can't remember the last time she did

that, she normally waits until I am done. She really is a lovely cow.

Bright Blessings,

I give my gals a shave w/ clippers .. and I have no issues. I always run it thru a filter anyway.. but shaving helps so much. Plus the goats like the summer haircut with all that heat From: RawDairy [mailto:RawDairy ] On Behalf Of songbird97520Sent: Monday, October 17, 2011 11:40 AMTo: RawDairy Subject: Re: Raw Goat Milk Safer than Cow?/hair in milk Try milking right into a filter over your bucket and there will be no more hair in the milk:o)alizawho doesnt like stuff in her milk.....I do get > hair in my milk, all the time.

What ... the hair isn't added protein? <VBG> I run the milk

through a filter immediately after milking each goat (and front and

rear quarters of the cow) and not much gets through the filters I

use. I don't like to shave my goats because I feel like the hair

gives them some protection from insects and bramble. Besides, I

have to haul enough paraphernalia out to milk as it is, I don't need

to add something else to the collection.

On another note, I wrote a while back about breeding problems I'm

having with my Jersey cow. She's 14 months post-calving and still

giving over three gallons a day (peak lactation she's about four to

four and a half gallons a day). I thought she was dry, but the bull

calf that was pastured with her was nursing and keeping her

lactating. I think she's cycling, I'll know tomorrow or the next

day if she starts acting like she did about 21 days ago. The bull

calf is eight months old so in another month or two, I'll see if

he'll breed her (I need to wait another month or so in order for him

to forget about nursing and think about doing other things to her).

Otherwise, my vet is going to AI her. It's pretty cool to have cow

milk again ... I love it and all you can do with it.

I have found that cows learn to poo before coming in to milk. They generally do

it in a walk to the stanchion......

He doesnt have to wait to be done nursing to breed your cow. A jersey bull calf

will be ready to breed the cow starting about 7 months or two or three more -

then it is just the matter of if they can find a hillside...... They will

readily breed the cow they are nursing.....my cow is due in January from a bull

calf breeding.
