[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1852864, member: 25884"] That's great... she will get it and sure, the sooner the better for you... and in the future, you may need to just put the rope around her and not cinch it up tight... just a "reminder" used to have one on one of the dairies I milked on... just laid the rope over her back... she was fine... no rope and she was too dumb to realize she just had to stand still.... I know you like the belly surge milker... but not having the belt over their back is why some went to a pail that sets off to the side and longer hose from the claw to the bucket... same principle, just not right there hanging underneath them. It's all what they get used to and what they seem to want to accept. Just takes a little extra persuasion... and ingenuity... many first calf heifers can be difficult... and a few are dreams to work with.... Hope she gets into the routine quickly for you now... The cannulas are handy to keep around in case of an injured teat... it allows the milk to flow without squeezing the teat in the milking pulsation... especially good when cut from briars or anything that makes the squeezing painful or reopens a healing cut or something... or the teats are so tiny that hand milking is near impossible...and they work for draining out mastitis when the udder is sore... they might get the end "stopped up" with a clump... but you just pull it out, blow the clump out, put it back to finish draining... sometimes it is kinder on the tender tissue and they don't get sore and antsy from it hurting...
