No I'm not milking Keira. She hadn't milked up at calving. Three days later she bagged up a little bit, but she's very underweight from not being able to eat much with all the extra fluid in there the last couple months. So I decided that her recovery is more important than my milk, and I don't want to put the extra demand on her. Besides, Eavie will soon calve & she's looking like she'll be a better producer than Keira anyway. Hi Jonna! No I’m not milking Keira. She hadn’t milked up at calving.
