Our neighbor come over Saturday and told us to look for Sugar's shape to change from something like this ( ) to something like this | | about 8-12 hours before calving. This is caused by the calf moving into the birthing position. Of course the power of suggestion has me believing that she looks like this tonight, lol. We're ready, whenever the calf decides to make its entrance.
I found a good deal online on this Surge bucket milker and a portable vacuum pump. It's not as romantic as handmilking but with me operating an off-farm business and Jennifer homeschooling three kids, the sheep, the chickens, etc. it will be a huge time-saver.
