“We knew the Nu-Pulse milker was
simple to use and the easiest to carry
from cow to cow.’’ Nu-Pulse was the
lowest cost unit for us to install and
operate. Since using the Nu-Pulse
milker, we’ve found the cows’ udders
have become much softer and more
pliable. There are also fewer sore teat
ends. Shortly after changing to Nu-
Pulse milkers, our S.C.C. dropped to
250,000.
Among our herd of 60 cows with a
herd average of 16,000 milk and 550
fat, we have found Nu-Pulse milkers to
stand up to everything we were told.”
