Dynasty Dexter Ranch

This video is for all ADCA regional members who need a little help learning how to submit lab testing samples to the genetic lab at UC Davis.

We all have our own way to hand milk, but this is the most effective and least tiring way for me to hand milk. I also have nerve damage in one hand so this may be a good way for anyone with some arthritis in their hands or wrists. The key is to clamp off the milk, so it stays in the teat and does not go back up in to the quarter.

Preparations on getting genetic testing sent in on a Dexter calf, through Texas A & M. The final purpose of the genetic testing is for ADCA registration.

Typical flow of milk and technique when hand milking- Except I always use two hands at once.
