My doe gave birth 6 months ago and during the last couple of days the amount of milk she is producing has dropped alot. She is in standing heat (we are having her bred tonight). Would this be the cause?
She gets to free range and has orchard grass free choice. She also has a mineral block and gets grain when she is milked. Is there some other diet I can give her to increase her milk?
My "gut" is telling me that she is at the end of her lactation cycle (is that the correct term?). I've really gotten used to having sweet, delicious milk and I hate to think I'll have to go back to that other cow stuff so soon!!!
Last year was the first time I ever bred a goat, so this is all still new to me. I've had a great time with the new baby and the fresh milk! I love doing this!!!!! :leap:
