i cant say 100%, as i havent gotten there, but from what ive read, production will drop a bit, but not much.
we are currently getting ~3.5g per day with TAD milking. i suspect we will be getting ~3g per day once we go to OAD milking.
im planning on starting OAD milking this weekend, so i should have more info in a few weeks.
hope that helps.

C. Hunter wrote:A question for the experienced dairy folks - I know that a number of my friends who have goats feed the goat's only grain ration (it doesn't make up much of their diet) while the goat is on the milking stand as part of their normal routine. Is that something that is done with dairy cows in a household-milker type situation? Would that small amount of grain that a cow can consume during milking be a significant amount of their diet that you'd want to factor in with a pasture situation like this?
