[QUOTE="I luv herfrds, post: 816350, member: 5917"] I bought a Surge milking machine used for $450, hubby reminded me of that, the milk cows I had before I never bothered with the machine because their teat length was long to handle. But my new milk cow's teat length is too small. Back ones are 2 fingers and the front are 3 fingers. It took me about 20 minutes to clean and steralize the can and I believe the others called it the claw. We only had it one her for about 5-8 minutes and got just under 2 gallons. Took me about 10 minutes to clean the claw again, but it sure beats hand milking for 20-30 minutes. Yup I was milking with one hand holding the bucket with the other hand too. Never got the hang of it. feed does matter. With my last cow, Chocolate, I got a special feed for dairy cattle that had barley, corn, mollasses and some other grains in it. When feeding that I would get 2.5 gallons on a single milking. [/QUOTE]
