other liquid or debris. Move the stool beside the
Bosk and take a seat, to one side in case the Bosk
decides to ... well you know {laughs}. Be gentle,
quiet and soothing. The Bosk can be ornery and
give better milk when at ease.
2. Carefully check the teats for any sores, fungus,
chapping, etc. Chapping can be treated with salve,
but anything too severe should be looked at, and the
milk from the Bosk not used. Everything okay?
3. Gently grasp one teat in each hand, pulling down
firmly and steadily in an alternating rhythm until the
teat is empty.
4. Take the milk into the kitchen or milk shed and pour
it into the milk vat and place it in the cold room.
Clean the pails and you are done!
