[QUOTE="Udderslavery, post: 945406, member: 19128"] Perhaps the cow is not letting down. It sure sounds like that is what she's doing. She needs the stimulation of the calf sucking. This causes her release of oxytocin. Some home milkers let the calf nurse one quarter and milk the other three. Sometimes while the calf is actually nursing. Eventually the cow gets habituated to letting down from the udder washing the milker does before milking. This thread was a long time ago so it is a mot point now I guess. [/QUOTE]
