[QUOTE="Christina, post: 27441, member: 112"] I amn a first time heifer owner. I've had my holstein since she was 5 weeks old. She is now about 21 months old and will calve in Aug. Here are my questions: I keep looking on ebay for equipment, but I'm not even sure what to get. Do I have to look for a stainless steel pail or can I use a ss Delavel bucket to milk into. I'm not sure if the neck is too narrow to aim into and if the Delavel items are only for machine milking. Secondly, do I need to get a cream separator or can I just let cream rise to the top and go from there? Besides the bucket and milk strainer I am planning on getting a 2 gal pasteurizer (if I can find one at the right price). Is there something else I am overlooking? I know most of you are beef cattle people, but I figured just as many of you probabably had a dairy cow while you were growing up. Thanks for your input. [/QUOTE]
