[QUOTE="puzzled in oregon, post: 1852890, member: 40255"] Floor milker is all we ever used, till we set up the pipeline. They were all stanchion broke and the only thing every used to limit kicking was a short rope in a figure 8 above the hock or a " Cow Kant Kick" apparatus. We had the metal chain kickers, but that could be like arming a cow with a set of "Nunchucks" if they came loose. This was how first calf heifers were handled, some had never been prepared for the milking process. Can't imagine putting a young heifer through all of this and risking injury to the udder, or the unnecessary risk of introducing bacteria etc. to the udder with the use of cannulas. And, yes, though rare, with some it can mess with their mental process. [/QUOTE]
