By the time I joined her, she had been promoted to Snr.wvs and signed for another 5 years. I was allowed to move into the stall next to hers and after extensive medical checks, was inseminated. During my pregnancy, I had been fed tested drugs to help prepare my breasts (they were quite rightly, called udders and we were called hucows) and as with maisy, my udders were heavier and swelling even by 4mths. By the time of my birthing, an 8lb. girl, that I was allowed to ween for 4 weeks, before she was taken from me to go to a good home, my udders had increased from 34C to 36E and constantly leaked, except when clamped, ofcourse. During both maisy's and my time there, we loved competing and although Maisy did have higher yields, I acheived between 50 & even once attained 75oz. (2.5 - 3.75pints) in 24hrs. av. usually 5 - 6 milkings a day by industrial pump, milk stripper. The Doctor in charge of the Dairy won the Human Dairy Award on my 2nd year there and had won 4x by time Maisy and I completed our service and had dried up. Although I still think They could have persevered with breeding us more, the other wvs were begiining to regularly attain higher yields. The time spent there was good. Hygene standards very good and our straw was changed once a month, whether we needed or not. The most uncomfortable times, were the various Doctors methods of attempting increased yields. But that's another and long chapter. Yes, human milk is widely available and I think is sold at around $30 a pint now. milly mooe(s) a lot. *smile* The value of human milk has been around for centuries.
