My big question is, what dairy wash detergent do you buy? and teat dip/wash or do you have a home recipe? I've heard cold water with the wash is perfectly acceptable. I'm having trouble sourcing it and knowing which one to buy. Husbo is a stock and station agent, so I can get whatever, I'm just after advice as to what's best and less 'chemical'Mummaduckahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10538993178188989025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-71534564649723292622014-11-21T15:17:19.542+10:002014-11-21T15:17:19.542+10:00Hi, So sorry to hear about your cow, that amount o...Hi, So sorry to hear about your cow, that amount of ticks cannot have been good for her, poor thing, now you just need to do your best for the calf. Keep looking for ticks. I'm not sure which recipe you're looking for though. The milking machine is a Daviesway mobile milker, if you google that you will find your local supplier. Email me on eight.acres.liz at gmail.com and I might be able to help you more.

I just lost my house cow, suppose to be with milk fever but I think it was from paralysis tick. We only bought her the day before she calved and when we got her into the yard she was riddled with ticks mainly dark ticks, brown ticks and the grey ones. I think she would have had paralysis ticks on her too as the calve was wobbly tonight and I found eight ticks from inside her ears. She has improved since I took them off. I had the Vitrate from the vet but would have liked yoour recipe but it wouldn't down load. Could you please send it to me.

I didn't realise you could get small milking machines like that nor did I realise that cows are now being bred for machine milking and not hand milking. Another sign of a world gone mad. Bella certainly doesn't seem worried about any of it that's for sure.Calidorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118238727781108509noreply@blogger.com
