I have a random thought/idea/question I was hoping for some opinions on.
The past week of milking outdoors in single digits temperatures has made it hard to use anything water-based on my does' udders for cleaning before milking. Maybe I'm being overly sensitive. Or maybe there are tricks I haven't learned yet (DO share!). But it got me wondering...
Is it crazy to make an oil-based udder wash? I was thinking of a light carrier oil with some anti-bacterial essential oils mixed it. Oil is incredible for dissolving dirt of all sorts so... any reason this wouldn't work?
