Hey guys, so I have some questions and wasn't quite sure where to post them.
How hard is it to halter train sheep?
Do I train them to use a milk stand (like a goats milk stand) or ?
If so, how do I train them to a milk stand?
Is the udder care the same or similar to that of a goat? (Like washing, teat dip, etc.)
How soon after lambing do I start milking? Can I start the day of, that way I can save some colostrum or should I wait and just let the lamb(s) have all of it?
Is there anything I should test the milk for? (I won't be pasturizing.)
Anything else anyone would like to add would be great.
