That is one big kid.  Sounds like you've got a good milker on your hands.

This morning she wouldn't settle on the milking stand so I picked up her kid and put it in a packing crate infront of the stand, why was she still calling.  I'd got the wrong kid, hers and one of the triplets are nearly identical, all white no patches or anything to distinquish them.

I milked enough to ease her udder and put her back in her pen,  An hour later putting them out to the field noticed a little blood on her leg and found two grazes on the teat where she'd stood on it. Sprayed with terramycin blue spray and luckily not causing a problem when I milked her this evening.
