[QUOTE="TexasJerseyMilker, post: 1765376, member: 42782"] If you are going to try make a milker out of this cow please please do something about the horns. The vet could saw them off and do a cosmetic job or just leave the stumps. I thought I would keep my own heifer calf horned until I got a good look at Jersey horns. They are wicked looking, narrow and sharp like daggers and curve outward then up in the hook and toss style. Now your heifer with the disposition that she has is been living quite a while with rough (behaving) cattle. I worry about people who are physically fragile and so far way from medical attention. Your stanchion could be a panic trigger and with horns to boot. I saw a video of this woman's milking barn where she did not use a stanchion, the cow is tied by a collar not the halter. The woman does not use feed or treats. She said it makes cows 'evil'. The cows are led away and get feed AFTER they were milked. Perhaps the constant giving of treats reinforces her bad behavior. She misbehaves, she gets treats. [MEDIA=youtube]VhDOdA6WphA[/MEDIA] I would sure like to get a used belly pail surge milker. My old hands are getting arthritis from hand milking. [/QUOTE]
