I know when milking as a young girl, grandpa always milked cows from their right side. Is it imperative to milk from that side or may a person milk from the left side? I have three stanchions but feel better if Sienna isn't right next to me while I'm milking Nellie. I put her in a stanchion furthest away by the other wall, which means I would have to milk her from the left. Any thoughts?

Should be fine Janet. I sometimes have to even milk the back teats from the back also...I must have a patient cow.

Well that's good to know. This will work out pretty good then. It might be awkward if I were hand milking her but where I just put a bottle up to her teat it should work fine. Thank you.

I think it might be whatever you are used to and whatever you are set up to do and the cow goes with it. I know I milk either side but usually the right.
