new milk doe slacking in milk

she seems fine poop normal could it be change in feed? I just purchased her so feed is changed i am sure. I believe the almish owned her. I am feeding purina goat chow mixed with sunflower seeds and milk pellets. She eats fine and I noticed the reduction in milk yesturday. Any suggestions? First milk doe I dont have a clue

If you just got her, it's not surprising that her milk yield has dropped. Her environment has changed completely and it's all stressful, even if she appears to be eating happily. New place, new feed, new person trying to milk her - it's all different!

Just keep on milking her regularly and I'm sure she'll pick back up again in a few weeks.
