[QUOTE="MikeJoel, post: 211905, member: 3783"] Beginner at milking. Never had to REALLY milk before (done it with machine). The cow finally let us milk it (some of course, it will be a little while before were good enough to milk quickly). Besides I was mainly wanting to just get a little out so she would be more comfortable (we were planning to leave the cow and calf without milking for a few days). Is it ok to milk by stripping (I think that is what it is called. You run the fingers down the teat to get the milk instead of rolling through the hand). I thought I heard once that stripping wasnt good for the cow's teats. The cow seemed more comfortable when I did it this way. When I tried the "correct" way she became irritated (though I must admit by that time my hands were tired and I may have not been doing it right). Thank you Mike [/QUOTE]
