[QUOTE="Dsth, post: 1672975, member: 38038"] I was born into the family dairy business and milked until I was 42 before changing lifestyle. you could try some of the newer teat dips that claim to help seal the teat end after milking. I tried them years ago and they do help. most environmental infections enter the teat channel within the first hour after milking so if you can keep her standing in a clean area after milking, that would help also ( keep in stanchion if that is where you milk or feed after milking so she doesn't leave the barn and lay down right away.) Did your vet do a sensitivity culture to determine what antibiotics to use to fight the mastitis? she may be sore from the mastitis causing the bad temperament but if she is a problem then I have learned that culling is a sure cure. milking twice a day is not much fun when you have to worry about getting kicked all the time.
