Hi all:
I have two Oberhasli/Nubian does that kidded in May 2016. The one had twins. I didn't milk her and left the twins on her until she kicked them off in early spring 2017. The other's baby didn't survive, so I did milk her. I've tried to dry her up several times and she just won't. Now the doe with the twins has started producing again. So a year after kidding I'm milking 2 does and getting about 2.5 gallons per day. Maybe they are just amazing goats, but is this common for them to stay in milk for so long?
