I saw someone doing this on FB and I thought I post one here. What do y'all use after milking? Please, if you post make sure to cast your vote too :)

I use Fight-Bac and have never had an issue with mastitis. We did have a meat goat with mastitis but I never milked her. Never had a dairy doe get it.

I don't use any, I may be in the minority... I separate the lambs from their moms at night, milk in the morning, then they go right back together for the day (and the lambs nurse immediately). If I ever have a ewe without a lamb to milk, I'd lean toward the bleach/detergent mix, but I'd probably do some research first.
