Many good cows have been partially ruined through Improper handling the first few months following freshening. It requires a great deal of tact and patience to prevent a heifer contract- ing notional habits when breaking her j ' in to milk. No set rule can be laid i!:.wn. Heifers vary quite widely in | I temperament and disposition. I have' i always found it a good plan to make j ! a mi of ul study of the characteristics of each heifer long before she comes , fresh. A heifer of nervous disposition 1 should be handled very kindly. Severe and abusive measures are very likely to intensify the trouble. It has been i my experience that it is a good prac- ! tice to begin handling heifers several months before they freshen. They should be trained to take their place in the stable. If stabled regularly it is an easy matter to work around them and the udder should be rubbed gentJy so the heifer will become ac-| customed to being handled. The heifer that has been accustom- ed to being handled previous to fresh- ening does not become so nervous when the udder besomes inflamed, and she can be treated with leas irritation. Indeed, I have found that by keeping the udder well greased before fresh- : eninig, inflammation may be kept out and the udder free from caking. I believe in treating heifers very kindly while being broke to milk. | However, it has aiso been my ex- perience that kindness is not always appreciated. I do not believe in se-j vere methods in training heifers to' milk, although at times punishment wisely administered will accomplish a great deal mere than any other kind of treatment. The use of the figure eight on the hind legs will sometimes accomplish good results. A rope around the body just in front of the udder and drawn tightly -iUo effects ( good result*.
