I don't know how much milk your going to get. I've milked sheep to feed lambs and its not that fun and not very much.
With that being said.
OP, Do you mean Dairy Goats?

Did not mean dairy goats, ticks. MissPrissy owns and operates a dairy sheep enterprise and I've read of others. I think she uses Friesans(sp), but not sure. I was asking about the milk quality of hair sheep, in particular, as this is the breed(s) I wish to raise. I don't want to have to shear with just the one or two sheep, but would like to experiment a little with making some kinds of cheese. Kill two birds with one stone, kind of thing, really.

Absolutely NOT interested in a dairy goat, as I have an old established orchard and would like to keep it! :p
