[QUOTE="Lannie, post: 1805945, member: 8202"] My hand is on there in case Joe hits her with a hard bunt and knocks it off the hanger. Also, my other hand is lightly holding (not pressing, just there in case) the back inflations on because her teats are so short. It just won't hang by itself for the whole milking now, so I have to tilt and adjust as necessary. I've been letting Joe nurse all four quarters for a while before milking, to get those back teats nice and warm and flexible, and it helps, but the inflations could still slip off as the quarters empty and the aspect changes. Once Joe isn't nursing at the same time I'm milking, and her teats are more flexible (she has bad edema right now), I won't have to hold it. She's a good girl and never moves while I'm milking her. Joe will be castrated when we take him with Molly over to the neighbor's to have her re-bred. The guy is sweet, and he always cuts my bull calves for me while they're there. [/QUOTE]
