Pink milk is actually normal, especially in just fresh does, more so in younger just fresh does. As the udder stretches and fill with milk it burst tiny capilaries under the skin which put blood into the milk. From bright pink pepto bismol milk to milk with just some brown, dead blood sediment in the bottom, you can expect things like this from just fresh does.

Milk her out well at least once a day until the kid is nursing her out completely.

Not only Teats but Halves, not quarters Vicki
