We're beef but used to be milking a decade ago. Use the lifeline lick tubs and have had very little trouble for the main block of calving. Having a few iffy calves now the tubs have run out for the last few hangers on..... dopey and not as much get-up-and-go. Cows are fine and enough milk.
fully appreciate a dairy cow will be more demanding.
