9-10 AM and 8-10 PM. Goes well with my work schedule. DH gets up earlier, so he lets everyone out and restocks the hay feeders.

We're only milking 1x a day now (trying to slow them down, we were getting 5 gallons a day from 6 girls) but we were milking at 8am and 4 pm.
As it gets warmer, we do it at 7am and 5 pm.

I milk 8-10:00 am, and 5-6:00 pm. The ladies adjust. But if I'm too late, the noises commence! :frow (picture a goat holding her udder and waving) "Hello! Goatie full up ovah heah! Helloo?"
