[QUOTE="novaman, post: 817747, member: 2744"] I too hate slow milkers. They just hold the show up. With that said, the slow milkers that I have left tend to have to lowest SCC counts of the herd. The teat opening is smaller and keeps foreign material out better. I have a couple that are extremely fast milkers and low and behold those are the ones that have the most SCC problems. Yeah my meters have conductivity sensors built in that can tell you which cows have elevated SCC as they are being milked. Very good info to have but it sure can be frustrating to see too. Pre-stripping the cows is a good way to check for mastitis, blood, etc as well as gets the cows letting down their milk so there isn't that "dry milking" period. I would think anybody who knows their cows can tell if they are milked out just by looking at them or at the very least when they apply the post dip you should be able to notice if a quarter is harder, fuller than the others.
