Lanolin based products seem to work the best for me but never considered mint, might have to give it a try. And I have never heard of "tail jacking." My paster is also my neighbor and something like "tail jacking" or "teat playing" is something Id really prefer not to explain Sunday morning.

mrsmackpaul Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Tail jacking isnt very complicated If you put the cow in a bail to milk her, just tie her tail vertical, as in straight up and down with a bit of tension This triggers nerve and the cow will just stand still After a few milkings like this just untie the tail and most times they will just stand nice and still I only ever use this as a last resort to when breaking them in I always found just walking them thru the cow shed and dropping a little grain and walk along behind giving them a rub and a tickle does wonders I always talk to animals constantly so they know exactly were I am, I feel that helps as well Anyway I'm sure you have it well under control Paul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw all these trucks lined up at J & J Truck Sales, which is right next door to Atkinson Truck Sales. Between them they have about 8 million trucks for sale, I used to see dump trucks with their mud flaps all over the country. But this green dump one really caught my eye, I really like that color. That's a crappy picture too, but not too bad for a drive-by shot taken with a phone I guess. The dr's office we were at was actually in a building that used to be part of the famous Dan River Mills. It was a 4 story building and on the first floor there was a room that was a small museum I guess, it had displays and pictures of the tobacco warehouses that used to be there, the textile mills... and this display about the wreck of the old 97. Very interesting. There's a tank museum in Danville too, in the old Disston Tool plant. We haven't been there yet, but it's on our bucket list. Hey Other Dog.....is that J&J dealer on drugs or are they just criminals? I looked at their web site to see that green Granite dump and it's USED and they want $252,500!!!!

I am surely out of touch on this one.. jojo Unless covid truck prices have risen that much in last two years, in 2020 I could get a fully loaded Star tri-axle dump brand new for $227,000 in worthless canadian money. Am I that out of touch now?? I have read articles about the new upcoming emissions regs and they did say it will be the end of the owner operator. Even International is predicting $300,000 prices for an average sleeper tractor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
