Milking Summer
Milking Summer tonight. Here s what I do. Wipe down udder with chlorhexidine diluted with water. (I m supposed to dry the udder) Empty the end of the teat. Milk When the milk flow slows, knock, bump the udder copying goat kids (but not as rough as goat kids, please ) Massage the udder until smooth and empty. I like massaging better than bumping but some bumping is necessary. When I can t massage or bump any more milk down to fill the teats spray with a chlorhexidine spray to close and sanitize the orifices. Let doe finish her ration. It s goat candy. Summer s soft textured udder is my favorite. If I could change anything I d give her slightly larger orifices and just slightly better rear attachment, but I still love her and she s plenty sound. It s not glamorous or a great angle, but that s what I do morning and evening with the does in milk for the most part.
