[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 211323, member: 852"] Won't hurt the cow at all to go several days. A mid-lactation cow that's used to being completely milked out at regular intervals would have problems, but not a fresh cow like yours. I've seen them go a full week before being milked. 3 days for one cow that went down with milk fever and no problems. My last nurse cow to calve I left her calf with her and waited about 3 days before walking her over to the dairy to get her milked out and that didn't cause any problems. (She did have mastitis, but I knew that [i]immediately [/i]after calving, and it wasn't related to not being milked out. I had a culture result back by 36 hours after calving and was treating her with appropriate drugs.) Milked by machine and milked by hand are two vastly different things to a cow. :lol: I know several cows that are absolutely [i]awful [/i]to try to pre-strip, but once the milker itself is put on they are perfectly well behaved. I need to turn in now...have to be up for the 4am milking at the dairy. I'll be back on later tomorrow morning. [/QUOTE]
