    This morning I had a cow with what the old lad calls a "pea in the teat"(translates as pain in the ass). Had to use a syphon to strip the teat out, definitely not ideal. Anybody got any solutions or advice?

    Do not use a syphon to strip the teat out
    Will get mastitis
    Keep massaging pea un till u can force it out
    Roll it with your thumb

    I'll try it this evening. When I took off the clusters this morning there was still one quarter full of milk. I was getting nowhere fast trying to strip it out and the next bunch of cows were waiting so for handiness sake I shoved a syphon in to drain out the quarter. Know its not a long term solution

    Got lucky this evening and with a bit of rubbing and massaging I eventually forced the pea out. RESULT. Who would believe an innocuous bit of calcium could be so frustrating?
