When I was milking cows I never had that problem. Might be a difference in dairy and beef. I sure have had the problem with miniature horses. I have had to hand milk and use a bottle for up to three days. I had one I thought had died when I went up to see if she had started to nurse or needed to milk and bottle feed. The foal could hardly so I brought the stocks up to the garage, put the mare in. I went up and brought the foal down and Dixie came out to help. I milked and she put the milk in the foals mouth with a syringe. We kept the foal up against to the foal to keep the mare calm. The mare would only let milk down for one large syringe and it took five minutes before she would let down a little milk. After the second syringe full the foal seemed to have regained its strength. It was close to midnight when we started at the garage and at two Dixie said she could not help any more. I brought the horse trailer up next to the garage and put them both in and went to bed. I went out at six in the morning and thought the foal would be dead or I would start over milking the mare in the stocks. To my surprise the foal was standing up nursing. That was the worse. I have had several I at least thought I needed to help. Only three others I had to milk and bottle for the first day to get the colostrum milk in them.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
