It reminds of when I was a kid and we had a mean rotten pony that repeatedly bucked me off, and my Dad kept saying, "Get right back on!" It takes courage (or stupidity!)to keep at it.

It appears I am gaining loads of knowledge with this situation. And greatly appreciated - ten fold.

Emmy has started kicking but not nearly as bad as what you are dealing with. I had to put the milker on her six times last night before she would finally leave it on. We do have a kick stop I can drag out if I need to but honestly it's been so long since we have had to use it, I don't even know where it is.<br /><br />I am thinking of you and praying that girl settles down soon for you! Glad the baby is doing well! <br /><br />TammyMaple Lawn Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10813334245826551671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7666832117222969242.post-16199399887850174282010-03-16T23:06:53.045-04:002010-03-16T23:06:53.045-04:00Hang in there, Jessika!

Like you said, I think it will only take a few milkings. Dante is having bad allergy probs right now. He can't do it. I can't order a kickstop this week, but next week I can. Hopefully I won't still need it for her, but I should own one just in case I have a bad kicker again. <br />Thanks for your suggestions!Jessikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140335698817090274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7666832117222969242.post-2339209065576107542010-03-16T21:48:28.927-04:002010-03-16T21:48:28.927-04:00We have a kicker, I think it was called cow can...We have a kicker, I think it was called cow can't kick, that slides on the side of them that you are milking, not the big bulky one that you screw that goes over the top of them. That helps quite a bit. If that doesn't work ( or before we got that) we would just tail the cow up, put it straight up over their back as much as you can. They don't seem to want to even move then. It is a little uncomfortable for them while you are milking but a kick in the head would be way worse for me. We have had to tail up a few heifers but it seems only for a few milkings then they figure it out.The Milk Maidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06457261749180979472noreply@blogger.com
