We wanted to try to do an extended lactation on crystal (swans daughter). Normally we kid our girls in feb-april and dry off in the winter months since we breed in sept-dec. But this girl was producing a gallon a day and I just wanted to see how she would do if we didn't breed her back. She now at day 368 & still producing over a gallon a day!! We will probably try to breed her this fall for spring babies. Now swan milked for 3 yrs cause she didn't want to settle...this march she gave us the cutest boy, and she back to her gallon a day production. Now I really wanted a girl so we will try 1 more time before we retire her from kidding.
