I have 2 dexter 7 year old cows-1 am milking the other in calf.I milk in the morning and let the calf have the rest.How long can I continue to milk as the calf is close to a year and she was bred in November?.Also is it normal to Dexters to be a big baby when it comes to any needling or even pour on for the lice!She takes off like a shot if she can,runs to the back of the barn starts pawing the ground.If she gets really upset she kneels down on her front knees.Usually shes pretty easy going except for if she thinks your going to do something with her. I milk without her tied or stantioned just a feed bucket.Haven't got a headgate yet.Just got her last year and I don't have anyone around here that milks,most just have large beef cattle. I'm working with the other to get her into milking by hand this year too and any clues on training her right anybody has for me would be great. Thanks
