    The peach teats are bigger and easier to suck from and i use them for small sucks to get them started and move to JFC blue(now) teats. Once they get strong i use the milkbar teats as i find them slower to drink from so the calf gets the suck reflex out of the way and no cow sucking the milkers when they are grown.

    But thats just me

    I use the milkbar ones as replacements in the jfc once the orginals are fecked. I think 10 replacements are €25.

    Bought a new 10 teat jfc the other day for €100 . the good auld north:rolleyes:
