4x a day seems like alot to me. Currently I'm milking once a day, and kids are still with does full time. I can tell the days I separate because my milk nearly tripled in the evenings and the does are begging for relief.

We ran numbers today and if Zamia and Taffy were on a 24 hour test our last monthly DHIR test both would have gotten stars
You need 7 pts for Nigeran and Zamia would have gotten 7.8 and Taffy 7.4
Zamia got 6.7 last year but we had never separated her from her kid before the test
Wish them luck
Milk out is Thur at 7 pm

But you aren't trying to have the number 1 milk producer in the country :)
