Some Nubians produce more than others, it depends on how much "milk" is in their bloodline, their diet, condition, how deep into their lactation, etc.
Mine average 6-8# a day....8# equals a gallon, more or less.

Exploring the pasture
My Nubian is a FF. She gives me about 3 1/2 pounds of milk twice a day. She freshened February 16, 2010. It didn't start out that much. I was lucky to get 1 pound. As time has gone by and I now milk twice a day she has increased what she gives.
I also have a Saanen FF. She also gives me about 2 3/4 pounds. I weigh each milking and tend to get a small amount more in the mornings from both does.
I see a big difference in my Nubain's milk and the family and I tend to prefer it in taste and creaminess. But I love both breeds. So I bought a Saanen buck to breed to my Nubian and got 2 Snubian does this February. I can't wait to breed them to either a Nubian Buck or a Kiko buck. I am undecided if I want to go strickly Dairy are go for a nice dual purpose for the Hobby Farm.
