I've not heard that before.  That's interesting.  I know it's different,
but dairy farmers use the same bottle of iodine for everyone's teats and
the thing they sell at Premier for iodine doesn't seem to indicate that it
would be used any differently.  Interesting.

Do you use veterinary iodine which is stronger than household?  I get mine
through Jeffers, which might be slightly cheaper than Pipestone.  They
have a website.  Last time I got the kind with a spray bottle attachment
with it, though haven't used it yet.
