    Goat milking question

    Hello! Our nigerian dwarf doe had two healthy little babies boys a little more than a week ago. They have been nursing off of her and now I am hoping that I will be able to have some milk from her as well. She had all the tests needed for milking just a little while ago. I plan on getting some...
