But you said she gave 19 lbs. of milk last night???

Nooo, 19lbs since last night (three milkings!).

 

[rodriguezpoultry]

OK...I guess I'm not getting it? If a gallon weighs 8 lbs. you have over 2 gallons of milk since last night.

Why are you having to buy more milk??

 

[Cara]

We're using it to raise a couple of calves, so they get all the good milk and we get the store bought junk! I just have two does in milk.

thats normal skin for a saanen, and she is not as pink as some I've seen, she's a good tan colour, so she shouldnt have any problems. Provide shade for her, you can use sun block if you like (but sometimes it does funny things to the milk) or use a summer rug on her (mini horse size).
