Okay. So I am only milking one goat right now, a Nigerian second freshener. I get a little under a quart a day and she freshened in early March. I get much more milk in the morning and I am wondering if anyone milks once a day rather than twice, and if so how much would this reduce the amount of milk I get?
Also, is it true that if you dry a doe off early they will have difficulty with maintaining a full lactation in the future? I found out after buying her that she was dried off about a month after weaning her kids as a FF. So just curious how long she will produce for me this time around
