Hello All! Just thought I would post picture of my two newest additions. Bea, A2A2 Registered Jersey and Halo( the lighter colored cow) A2A2 registered Jersey. Both very sweet. Both pregnant and due end of October, early November. Lots of milk and cream. Just purchased a new milking machine that arrives tomorrow. I'm sure there will be a learning curve. . Happy milking!

Oh my goodness Miss Janet. You're back at it with a couple of gorgeous cows, Halo and Bea. What brand of milking machine do you have coming your way???? How is your greenhouse doing?

Hello MaryJane! I purchased a single cow milker Melasty TEK1-PS 6 Gal. bucket from Mitty Supply. They shipped it in two days, have extra parts and maintenance pkg. Just finished hooking up the hoses this morning. I haven't used it yet as I'm waiting on three 5 gallon buckets I will use for cleaning after milking. I am anxious to use it and hope I'm not all thumbs. The greenhouse is doing good, other than my misters keep clogging because our water is so hard, but plants are doing very good. Prairie plants I planted west of house looking great too. Hope all is going well there.

I think I found your milker. It's a lot like the one I used for several years before I decreased my cow herd. It was wonderfully heavy duty and reliable.

Mine has two handles. I wrote the letters wrong. TJK1-PS. Probably same principle. I have 4 shells with liners, but have plugs if I only want to use two. That's what I think I'll do to begin with until I get on to it. The cows are used to this kind of milker but do fine with the one I've used for years. They are so sweet. Bought from family in Norwood MO. Had them delivered up here. Quite tame as the family has nine children and cows are used to them being loved on and milked by kids. HILLTOP JERSEYS.
