[QUOTE="Keren, post: 669330, member: 3195"] I've never heard of anyone doing it quite like that, BUT when our cows are close to calving we check their mill daily, our cows are quiet enough I can just walk up to most of them in the paddock and squeeze a little out, when it turns from that thick sticky ambery coloured stuff to colostrum, they are usually a day away I once had a chart which showed the changes of the secretions as they get closer to calving but I've got no idea where it is FWIW I've havent had any more mastitis problems with doing this, even though you are removing the wax plug [/QUOTE]
