As of last Sunday (22 Nov) Rosie is mastitis free. I never did order any of the external rubs. My treatment was apple cider vinegar and vitamin E in her food twice a day and keeping her udder empty as much as possible. I don’t know if It would have been successful without the little pig nursing from her. He has done a better job than a calf or I could have at keeping her empty.

Now I am getting a full half gallon of milk each morning. Probably about what should be expected from a Dexter. She is not a true milk cow. Dexters are dual purpose cattle. One half gallon a day is plenty for now. I just won’t be making cheese and will stick to making yogurt with the excess.
