[QUOTE="regolith, post: 817409, member: 9267"] It's only a minority of farmers in NZ who do either prep or stripping and there's plenty say we've bred the 'need' out of the cows for either action. bb, when I first encountered take-offs in the early nineties I hated them - every single row at least one cow had to have the cups put back on because one or more quarters was barely milked. I've been biased against them ever since but have worked in a shed a coupla times that's got the more modern variety and I've got to say they have improved heaps. I doubt there'd be any mastitis caused by them these days, tho' you do lose the advantage of eye-balling every udder at milk-out (nova's got that sorted because he's pre-milking and will detect mastitis that way).
