first time milking today!!!
ok everyone so i milked my nigerian dwarf momma today at first she didnt even wanna stand in my milking stand she kept squatting and kicking EVEN with the food bowl in front of her. but no matter what she did i just continued to milk her eventually she gave up and i managed to get 2 cups outta her. im not sure if this is a good amount or not for her never being milked before but i was pretty proud of myself lol i strained it multiple times put it in a ziplock bag and put it in the freezer so i can make something with it later anyone have any tips?

I don't have any tips as we aren't milkers yet (still to young) but wanted to say congrats. I personally cant wait.

You and your gal did good! Isn't it a thrill to milk for the first time?
