How to dry her off?

After all the wait to get a doe in milk my schedual has gone MENTAL and I dont have time to milk her!

So I am going to bite the bullet and dry her off (if thats the proper way of saying it) but now I have to ask..................

How do I do it and make it as easy on her as possible?

Having nursed all three of my kiddies I know how she feels when milking is a bit late!

Once all the dust settles and I know how we are time wise she will spend some quality time with our boyo Tigger and perhaps give US three beautiful babies like her last kidding.

Can you go down to once a day milking for a while, then every other day, then stop?
