still havn't seen Lily, think she waits till I'm out of the barn
I know she has been cos sh'e really active and the right shape.
Lucy is an angel when it comes to milking, she just stands there - no need to tie her up Shocked
After trying to get milk off Ella, Lucy is a doddle

Was looking at Etta and she has changed so much in the last week, her mum is still a s*d to milk but she's getting better slowly, another few days and she should be OK if she's tied up

Ella's, still a pain to milk, there's more on me and the floor than in the jug Rolling Eyes
I was aiming at 3 at the most, but they are as addictive as hens, so now it's 4 Rolling Eyes
