This is the question I get asked most often. Followed quickly by: Can you milk them? How much milk do you get? How much does it cost to feed them? Well the answers to the three follow up questions is the answer to the first one.
YES, you can milk them. I have found my first fresheners give about 3-5 lbs of milk a day. But keep in mind that first time milkers of any breed will always give less than experienced does. Senior does average around 5-6 lbs of milk per day. Not bad when you compare that to what ADGA says is average for Nubians.
As to cost of feeding, that is hard for me to tell you because my girls get lots of supplement browse. I will post on that later.
