·Tell me if this is a good idea, and feel free to add some tips of training to this thread.
I am currantly looking at having 3 FF to milk next season. I have started putting them on the milk stand from time to time and feed them there......I sometimes just let them eat at will, and then get down at will......I sometimes lock them in and run my hands around their udder area, also petting or brushing them. I get a lot of nervous twitches and such most of the time, and some are getting nervous about getting back up there in fear that I'm gonna lock them in I guess. I usually give them a few raisins as a treat after I'm through with them, and it seems to help a little bit.......Is there anything else that I could/should be doing at this time with these youngin's that will help both them and me when the time comes to do this for real.
Thanks.....Whim
