Can ya'll remind me about milk production?

When is a cow at her peak production? My 1/2 Holstein, who I am forced to milk as our Jersey died unexpected, is almost a month after freshening. I would like to up her production but couldn't remember when she will be giving the most?

Thanks!

Here is a link with info. and a chart. Hope this is what you are looking for. If I am reading the chart right, it looks like production peaks about 1.5 months after calving.

Thanks, I was thinking it was 6 weeks, but had 3 weeks in my head and was hoping I was wrong.

On the 11th will be 1 month, so I have 2 weeks and we'll see what she is doing.
