Mare Milker
(see below)
Mares teats are
usually very small and it is difficult to
milk them if you have to. We found this idea and
have used it many times.
It is so helpful and much more comfortable for the
mare and the people
attempting to milk her.
Take a 60 cc syringe and cut off the
end that the needle attaches to.
Then turn it around and put the
plunger into the cut end.
Put the mares teat into the end with
the ears on it and gently draw back the plunger.
You can empty the syringe into the baby bottle.
