It’s a wonder that thing doesn’t cause mastitis and ruin your lovely cow! Hygiene, environment snd washing aside, there’s SO much more to milking than the above and the cheapness of a machine. Unless the pulse ‘rate’ (pulses per minute) is set at as close as 1 per second, and pulse ‘ratio’ set at a constant 60:40, % massage and suction phase per pulse, the inner surface of her teats and the annular ring where teat merges with udder inside will become rubbed raw and will be attacked by bacteria and will very likely ruin your cow and SSC levels

Thanks for sharing, is there a machine that you recommend or are you recommending to just hand milk?
