Side note-looks like mama's got lots of milk. Might be a good idea to milk her out.

Freeze it! That's what we do when we have extra. You never know when you might need it. We always have some in there just in case.

When I got home from town at 1:30, the doeling nursed off mom! HOORAY!!
My sheepy friend came over and brought some Nutri-drench for the kids. I, of course, sent her home 18 spankin' fresh eggs.
Kids are taking turns basking under the heat lamp. It must feel really good.

How much extra should I freeze? I froze a pint or so last night.

FREEZE it for future needs!
Milking momma out will relieve the pressure on her teats too and she might allow them to nurse easier

I would freeze all you get for the first four days or so. Label it so you know what day of lactation it is from, and if you need it, feed it in the order it came out.
Eventually the babies will keep her milked out.
On the doe kid nursing!

Oh MAN, that will be a lot of milk!
Can't I sell it and get rich quick?

Milked out 2/3 gallon or so to freeze. Mama is very nice about milking, yay for 2nd fresheners.
Doeling wasn't wanting to nurse again this evening (and frankly I'm pooped), so I tubed a couple oz. and gave her a dose of Nutri-Drench. Boys both nursed well.
Everyone is crashed out under the heat lamp.
Mustard poops are grody ! Yes, the 1980's called and they want that word back.
