My 14 year old daughter lost her favorite show cow back in the winter. She was really upset about it for a long time, I was actually quite worried about her.I'll kill myself before I kill big Bertha I'm afraid.
I love this cow, she literally is my baby, right now theres absolutely no way I would part with her, I could do with some good news occasionally and finding out shes in-calf would make my year without a doubt.My 14 year old daughter lost her favorite show cow back in the winter.

The bigger the pipe the better. Be careful with diagonal slopes. The liquid can leave the solids behind and you end with a blocked pipe. You might be better going straight down and then straight across. Get some proper advice.We have no services this way to dig up anyway

Usually just bit stiff drawing out first time maybe poke with a tube tip to open it but I think milking it makes the healing process take a lot longer and causes more damage swelling and painhow do you dry off an individual quarter mid lactation without using a dc tube?

I’ve had fully torn teats stapled or stitched and not had one fail to come back into milk yet doing that method vets look at you a bit sideways when you ring for a teat to be stitched most just leave it to fester or 3/4Usually just bit stiff drawing out first time maybe poke with a tube tip to open it but I think milking it makes the healing process take a lot longer and causes more damage swelling and pain
You need a woman or a man or whatever it is that floats your boat I like my cows but life goes onI love this cow, she literally is my baby, right now theres absolutely no way I would part with her, I could do with some good news occasionally and finding out shes in-calf would make my year without a doubt.
When I lost my last holstein from dads herd I was beyond distraught, I hope your daughter is ok
used to put a canula up them, with a plug, on the end, just take the plug out, at milking time, milk runs out, but it does increases the chance of mastitus.I’ve had fully torn teats stapled or stitched and not had one fail to come back into milk yet doing that method vets look at you a bit sideways when you ring for a teat to be stitched most just leave it to fester or 3/4
