Catty-whompus teats

[Deleted]

We have a FF, Neve Rany Troubles.

While she's not a trouble, milking her is a bit of a bother. Not because she isn't too crazy about the stand (she isn't) and not because she's a bit kicky (but she is).

It's because one of her teats is shaped funny, kind if "flipped up and out" on the end. Makes milking messy and interesting. 

Anyone know of a way we can sort of straighten this teat out, or maybe have some tips on maneuvering around to get the milk in the bucket and not all over the stand and me?

I was tempted to google catty-whompus teats and see what others are doing in that situation. Decided on second thought that I probably didn't wanna see the results of that search tho . If you find a way to train them, Hope you'll share.

Really late to this party, but - the only thing I ever heard you can do for that is to leave a kid on them. If anything can straighten it, it's the constant pulling that a kid will do.

Other than that, you just have to kind of aim your thumb so you push into the udder above the teat a tiny bit and aim it that way.

Pictures?

Camera on the fritz.

No biggie now. Between her kids and my morning milking, things have straightened out.
