Now that I have started milking my Dexter, I am realizing it takes me a long time to milk. This is my third day ever milking in my life. I am having a hard time getting milk to come out AND get it aimed into the bucket. So I end up holding the bucket with one hand and milking with the other. But after an hour and only 5 cups of milk, my hands are tired and I'm thinking a milking machine may be the way to go. But I've heard that it can take a long time to clean the milker and tubes and all that is involved. This next year I may have two cow to milk.
So I am wondering how long it takes you to clean your milker and if there are certain specific milkers you like or certain types of milkers you like.
While I would love to hear your encouragement that I can milk this cow by hand and that I will get better, both statements I'm sure are true and would love to hear that from you, I would still appreciate your thoughts on the milkers themselves and how easy they are to clean.
Thanks!
