Creatures of Habit Remember that dairy cows quickly get into habits. The cow which is handled quietly and regularly soon develops confidence and loses any fear it may have of being hurt. Fright disturbs the milk let-down and causes the release of a substance which stops the let-down process from working. A frightened cow just cannot be milked. Here are some final points: (1) A large amount of machine stripping could be an indication of poor stimulation. (2) Never delay application of teat cups after the cow has been stimulated. (3) Do not leave the teat cups on for too long after milking is completed. This
causes discomfort and a dislike of the milking procedure. (4) It is not good to have breaks in the normal routine or to allow poor organisation of the sequence of operations to which a cow becomes accustomed. (5) Keep strictly to the same times each day for milking. If you decide to start each afternoon at 4 o'clock, make it strictly 4 o'clock every day.
