Milking Adventures.....

Okay...I'm not excited about milking today...not at all.

Yesterday, the girls knocked the grain bucket out of my hand....I nearly got horned...it wasn't pretty.

Plus...when I finally got Annie's head in, she was on her knees on the milk stand....meaning, when I went around to, once again, pick up her back legs and put them on the stand, she went limp....because she wasn't standing on her front legs...therefore, could not put her weight on them.....MEANING that I had to totally pick her up...which means, my biceps nearly popped off...and I think I pulled something too....well, maybe not cause it's not hurting today...but yesterday I could've swore I pulled something....  PLUS....Sugar was not content eating her grain...she wanted to stick her head in Annie's bucket - while I was milking her....which resulted in them knocking the grain bucket off the stand...which resulted in Annie not being as content. 

We have sooooo got to make some adjustments.  Before I scream.....  However, those adjustments won't be made before I go do my farm girl thing in a few minutes.  BIG OLE SIGH ....  wish me luck......  ;)

  1. I hope it went well and things get easier. It's hilarious to read about, but I'm sure it's not funny to you.
