Yesterday I was able to go and get some help in understanding and training Elsie. Christina, who I bought Elsie from, is a wonderful trainer, and seems to really understand cows. She gave me some excellent tips and training, and I feel much more comfortable and confident. I also got a stable mat for the stanchion, and Elsie seems much happier milking up there than in the redneck stanchion I had thrown together earlier.
