My 16 mo. old holstein always let me rub and pull her teats. About a month ago she started getting bugged by it (pawing slightly with the front leg). I have still kept up with it as I know I have to. She is now starting to kick out a leg or charge the pygmy goat (I do this when she is at the feed bin)We breed her on Sat., she will be a milker, so I don't want to end up with a fiasco next Aug. She is way gentle in all other ways and responds well to the principles in Running Arrow Bill's paper. Any ideas or advice about what has worked for you over the years? I know many of you are running beef cattle, but experience with growing up around cattle is still worth its weight in gold. Thx. (PS She's loving her pumpkin a day...It's how I'm going to lure her into the trailer. She does well going up a ramp, but balks at step ups).
