[QUOTE="Tod Dague, post: 267148, member: 61"] We did put her in the chute, but we didn't catch her head or squeeze her down. We also gave her a couple pounds of cotton seed while we milked her. She stood very well and didn't seem to have any problems with us milking her. For the little bit that we milked her it only took us about 15 min from setup to letting her out. We only plan to milk 2 gallons per week and let the calf have the rest. I may be wrong but I don't think it will make a whole lot of difference in the calf's wean wt. We will not be registering or indexing any of the calves that she will produce. Her calves will be fed up for butcher. I don't know how long this will last but for now the girls are enjoying it and the cow doesn't seem to mind much. [/QUOTE]
