Milked aameerah for the first time this morning I got 1.5 cups (would of been more but she kept jumping around and into my little container for the first 5 minutes or so) I don't think that's too bad considering she has twin bucklings on her and she is only 15days fresh.
Only complaint I have about aameerah's udder as far as milking goes is how tiny her teats are
Sorry about the photo she kept squatting when I tried to take it I had to use the selfie camera . Oh that is also my thumb not a teat lol her udder was so full very hard to get started, 11 hour fill I probably could of gotten an additional 1/2-1 cup if I milked her all the way out

Some better photos of her udder. She does have a tiny pocket in front. She by far has the best rear udder attachments, could use a little better in the front since she has a tiny pocket but overall the best udder in my herd thus far.
16days fresh
So I need to improve on fore udder attachments and teat size i think

You'll have to forgive the looks they gave me, they were more than half asleep (especially Ruger the black one) he was sound asleep standing up with his eyes Open.

Just for the fun of it I offered a bottle to Remington and ruger,. Remington took to it almost right away Ruger was more interested in being pet than eating but he finally figured it out

@Wehner Homestead what can I say? I love me some mountain dew and they claimed it
On a more serious note I'm really surprised they took to it, they are 3 weeks old and never been offered one before lol
