First milking

Rose and I went out to milk Daisy this morning for the first time.  It went - o.k.  She was mad at us for keeping her away from her babies all night, and surprisingly not real happy to have her head stuck in a grain bucket.  However, with Will feeding her hay in handfuls and Rose and I alternately petting/soothing and milking, we managed to get about 2 1/2 cups of milk - which immediately went to the dogs as we also managed to get her hoof in it at some point.  I had told Rose not to expect much on our first try, and honestly it went a little better than anticipated.  Daisy can be a stinker when she wants to be.  With time and practice, it will get better.  :-)

I remembered to take my camera down, but forgot to put the CF card in it - so didn't get pics, but will try again tomorrow.

Daisy is now happily grazing with the prancing sisters, Magnolia and Melantha - little does she know, we'll be doing it all again tomorrow!
