Do Goats Care What Time of Day They Get Milked?

[margeaux]

Assuming I were to milk my goats for 2 milkings at 12 hours apart, do they care what time of day it is? Does anyone have experiences about how time of day affects them? Like, are they more relaxed and easy to milk if it's just after dawn, or could 8 or 9 work just as well? I'm assuming they might not like to be milked in the evening after dark?

Just a thought I had, wondering if anyone has any experience with this topic...

Once you have established a routine they don't mind the time as day, as long as you follow the routine.

I've milked late at night. Well after dark and they don't mind.

X 2 - it's all about routine.
