stupid question

I had a dream that I was milking a goat and it took more than one three gallon bucket. Unless it was monstrous, a goat can only produce a gallon or so right? Thanks.

Average of 1 gallon per day...1/2 gallon per milking, your bucket is big enough. Actually I think my bucket is only holds one gallon making it more manageable.

That's a pretty cool dream!

Over a gallon a day isn't monstrous at all. All my mature does and 3 of my first fresheners are over a gallon a day. The 2-4 year olds made 18-11.4 lbs on the last test. None of them are monsters. Well, Trinity is ugly and bites other goats... Twinkle likes to hide in dark places & jump out... Elsa sounds like a velociraptor... so maybe a little monster.

Here's an article about the world's highest producing doe both in 305 days and 24 hours. After that lactation, she scored 92 EX so she's the opposite of a monster.
