After...A very frustrating problem, as it turns out! After experimenting with a series of collars, we purchased an udder sling, which worked for a few days until she figured out she could undo the buckles by scraping along the fence... Duct tape solved that, more or less, but then she figured out how to pull her teats over the front lip of the mesh fabric that holds the udder. I retrofitted a couple of extra straps, but she continues to snap straps, scrape off duct tape, and somehow get in there to help herself. At least the rate of loss has decreased! Meanwhile, we are ready to breed our Nigerian Dwarf cross and, with any luck, that might allow us to shift gears entirely and not have to rely on Poppy as our sole milk supplier! Best of luck with yours!Nikki Tate-Strattonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01406715512531210782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6033667808201346270.post-23409299774454978132012-12-08T11:04:33.527-08:002012-12-08T11:04:33.527-08:00I found you post interesting as my pet ND is a sel...I found you post interesting as my pet ND is a self milker and I am going thru the same thing with nasty tasting sprays...she doesn't seem to mind if she drinks enough of her own milkAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17965821954711170045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6033667808201346270.post-62562267672769589622011-11-04T22:55:14.506-07:002011-11-04T22:55:14.506-07:00Yes, speaking as "the Neighbours" we are...Yes, speaking as "the Neighbours" we are very happy! Thank you again for your creative solution to control our once uncontrollable bramble patch. I'm sure the goats will find all types of lost or forgotten items in the "thick-of-it". We look forward to a healthier, more manageable Blackberry patch next year because of their amazing appetite.
