What to expect from a FF?

[wintrrwolf]

What should one expect from a FF? How much should a Nubian doe give if she still has a baby nursing. I know I can't compare Pawnee to Sugar but today I got 2 dribbles and that was it, I got more from her when she first kidded than today. Granted the kicking got in the way a little so might need to hobble until I can get another stand built, her teets are still on the small side maybe a smaller cup?
Lucky will be sold this coming weekend so what should I expect/do to get/keep her production going?
Both Sugar and Pawnee get grain and alfalfa pellets, and all the hay they can eat, fresh water every day...

If there is a baby nursing it is normal to get very little regardless of the age of the doe or number of freshenings. I wouldn't base your estimate of her production on what you are getting after kids because that will depend on the age of the kids and how willing she is for them to nurse. I can have a Saanen producing twelve pounds of milk a day and if she is nursing two or three kids will only get a few squirts of milk from her.

To evaluate production you need to separate your doe from her kids for the night and measure in the morning.
