No shortage of milk around here!
We are milking a total of 26 does, with 8 being yearlings, another 5 being first freshening two year olds, and 10 of them are nigerians!
The retained kids are still drinking all they want and I'm still dumping milk. Those are 3.7 gallon pots, but I squeeze more like 4 gallons into each one and this is just my morning milk. This was about 15 hours of milk in the herd, I milk a few hours earlier at night to be able to have a bit of time with my family in the evenings and my growing boys requested sausage and eggs for breakfast today.
