Thank you @rachels.haven !

I am now upto 3.5cups of milk between the two does this morning. Unfortunately when Lillieā€™s bucklings left before her doeling her production dropped even with me milking her out twice a day so she gives between 1-1.5cups a milking right now. I am getting a dairy goat feed and some alfalfa pellets today to try and increase her production. Also planning on milking 3x a day when I can (good idea or no? I work 8a-6p Monday,Tuesday Thursday and Friday and 8-4sat so I was thinking of milking 3 times on my days off)

Moose has graduated out of my room to the barn stalls with his sisters! He is still so much smaller than his sisters!

It is much better pics! And I understand....we were just trying to take pics of our kids...as our friend that raises goats said ā€œThese glorious animals have an attention span of 3.4 seconds". Lol šŸ˜… And I think kids have less. But good job, youā€™re getting better at it. šŸ‘
I almost think Maple has better rump width. Marigold is more angular and dairy. But both very nice.

@D and L Meadows any tips on getting good pics?šŸ˜‚ on a slightly more serious note, do you think if I milk before work, right after work and before I go to bed that it would improve production? I feel like Lillie is drying up even with being milked completely out(to the point I canā€™t get any even after bumping/massaging and letting her sit for a few mins) and am really needing her to pick up production because Bella is only giving about 2 cups a milking and Iā€™m going through 2-3 cups a feeding, so really hoping to be able to up production on both


@MiniSilkys oh no! Hopefully not
