How much milk does a dairy goat give?
This varies greatly depending upon the breed of goat and the individual goat within that breed. Nubians are known for high quality, high butterfat milk but with less volume than some of the other breeds. Young, first freshening does will give less than a doe who is 3 to 4 years old and at the peak of her production. Does also give more milk in the first few months after freshening and then production may gradually decline.
