I've done both and she stands the same either way.

Hand milking takes me about twelve minutes a side. The machine takes six and gets more out, but it's another thing to clean and another thing to break. For one or two does, hands are fine. Past four, the machine starts earning its keep.

Ronja doesn't mind which. Two gallons daily, split morning and night. $400.

Ewe lambs are five and six months, $250 apiece. Ram lambs are six to eight months, $200 apiece.
