Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Milk at the same time daily.
Step2
Sit on the same side of the cow each day. This will help your cow feel more comfortable - cows like routine.
Step3
Place cow in a stanchion if this makes you feel more at ease. If your cow is an old hand at being milked, this probably won't be necessary. Ask the farmer you purchased her from what her routine was with the farmer.
Step4
Place stool at a right angle to the cow and sit with your head resting on her flank.
Step5
Wash udder with warm water and clean cloth.
Step6
Place pail under teats.
Step7
Take a teat into the palm of your hand.
Step8
Squeeze teat at top with thumb and forefinger. Continue squeezing each finger around teat, forcing milk in a stream until all fingers are around teat.
Step10
Repeat until only a small amount of milk comes out and the udder is soft to the touch.

on 3/16/2008 We just purchased a milk cow yesterday and we have milked by hand before in the past. my question is we heard that if you transport a cow that it's best to throw out the first milking and keep the next days milking.
we just wondered if this is true.
we want to drink the milk raw. so didn't know if this might be something we needed to know.
thanks
