Thanks Colliewoman. I would actually really appreciate some experienced advice about my supposed milker. I still struggle to get milk out of her. She seems to like my dad and I get a bit more when he is fussing her!

Will get lots of biscuits in!

Sing when you milk her. You can't hold your breath if you sing, and if you are tense you hold your breath. If you are tense she won't let her milk down

If she hears me sing the milk will be curdled! I will try breathing

I have an old mobile phone I can play music on, pop it in my pocket and switch on a couple of minutes before milking, gives her warning to start letting the milk down and gets us both in the mood. (strauss is good for us

), Well, when we get into milking routine again.

Cherry is a sod for holding her milk up , once her kids are off her if anyone else milks her they cant get more than a pint, I milk her and she goives me a pint, turns round and starts licking my face then drops the rest and i end up with around 6 pints off her morning and night

I have the magic touch when I massage her udder
