Comments on How to Milk a Cow

I don't plan on milking any cows any time soon living in the NYC but I sure found this interesting!

I don't think so, I mean, it won't affect the safety of the milk. She just might not produce as much because of the stress of traveling.

If I ever need to milk a cow, I'll certainly look back to your instructions. My brother took care of our cow, so I never learned.

What a wonderful, detailed article on milking cows Yummm!

I never knew the finger motion, Thanks for the Step by Step...

You know your stuff!

The tast of fresh cow's milk and even the organic one in the stores is just no comparison to the commercial ones. Great illustrations and tips on milking a cow.. thanks

Good photos. My uncle had milk cows, but I only fed the calves.

This is something I have always been curious about. Maybe someday I will get the chance to try it.

Great article for those who have not been around cows. Really cool for kids too. Great photos. NW

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

We just bought a Dexter abut 2 months ago and she freshened last week. We are leaving the calf on her and aren't getting much milk at all in the bucket. We had high hopes but are getting discouraged...others we talk to leave the calf on and still get a good amount of

Beginner?- Well, I'm a rookie at this kind of stuff, but I'm showing a Black Angus Steer this year for 4-H, so I'm learning. I'm thinking about getting a Holstein dairy cow and raising it and milking it when it gets older, I realize that this is a very easy process for someone who has already done this before, but I think I'll be able to manage. So, from what I have learned here is that you need to: Get your cow to like you, wash it's teats and udder with warm soapy water, and then use a pail to collect the milk while I start milking it? And then I have to milk it twice a day, at the same time every morning and night. Is that correct? I hope so, because I'm getting one next month! (I'm so excited! I get my own dairy cow!)
