I begin drying her teats using an unsoiled, fluffy cotton fabric. As I wipe them I am very cautious with my ways making sure that I mistakenly do not scrape or pester the nipples. They tend to be very sensitive, and the cow may twitch and try to kick me if I induce any discomfort.
Setting down the washcloth I catch the first teat and press it down as Phobos showed me a few days ago. I smile as the memory overwhelms my mind. I had complained to him of how I did not comprehend how to milk cattle so he made me squat beside him and clarified to me how to do so. He portrayed a chair as the cow and presented with his hands how to strip the nipple.
Stripping he explained is the method of hauling down a cow's teat in order to remove any grime and bacteria from the milk ducts. The first transfer of milk I mustn't save for it is not clean and should not be utilized.
