Forestripping is the best method of premilking udder stimulation. It is also the only way to identify cows that have clinical mastitis. (University of Winsconsin)

Research and field studies continue to show that proper forestripping increases milk yield, reduces unit on-time and results in cows with healthier teat ends. (Penn State)

This sequence of forestripping, dipping and drying should not be reversed or altered. (The Dairy Site)
