Daily Milking Amounts (Pix)

[Rebbetzin]

Yesterday I got about a gallon and a half of milk from two goats.

I get a lot less at the morning milking than I do in the evenings.

Does anyone know if it is normal to get less milk in the morning?

Yes it is normal. Are you milking 12 hours apart each milking?
Usually at night the animal is not ingesting as much, simply chewing her cud and all that, so not as many nutrients are going into her to make all the milk, versus when she is awake and active. Or that is my thinking anyway.

Are you going to make a journal Rebbetzin? That way you could have all your photos in one area.

You mean on here? I hadn't thought about that... I have a blog I try to keep updated about once a week.
