Surge Belly Bucket for Dexters?

[liz]

I wanted to share how we have adapted a Surge Belly milker for our cows. Our Dexters are too small to 'hang' a belly bucket so we needed to figure out a way to make it work. Our friend who installed the pump system came up with this method. It works fine except there is no automatic shut off valve if the inflations drop. These are pictures of Burfoot Leila in the milking stanchion.

Hey, Leila's not FAT she is a Cluny clone though! At 7.5 yrs, her age, he looked like a huge sausage dog! You can see her hips, ribs and do the pinch test but she has a ginormous barrel and rumen. Char your cows were fat! L ;D

Too late, I already told her what you thought! ;D
