[QUOTE="Mango1, post: 323725, member: 4189"] HI Tracy, We are like minded, my son has a Brahma cross commercial show heifer, she just had her first calf this morning. I have been waiting for this moment! I am craving fresh milk, so we are going to give it a try. We have a grooming chute, so I figured we will put her in there to try it. I had a Brown Swiss growing up and milked her twice a day, had so much milk a lot of it went to waste, but I sold it to all the neighbors. Shh don't tell anyone, you can't legally do that you know! Anyway, I've been told that she will have colostrum for the first week and can milk after that, although some people think milk with colostrum is about the greatest thing you can drink, from a health point of view, but I would rather wait. So I'll let you know how it goes. Just make sure you clean everything properly. There is a lot of good information online about it. But milk is milk from no matter what breed, you'll probably have a lot less cream than with a dairy breed is all. [/QUOTE]
