Just wanted to post this as when my girl Vanna decided to give us milk, I struggled to find info about maiden milkers on line so if anyone is in a similar situation, I'd hope that this might help them
about 6 weeks ago I posted saying that my unmated/never kidded 2 year old girl was producing a little milk. After a visit from a local breeder we decided to try to let it dry up naturally while keeping an eye that her udder never got full or tight or hot due to her young age.
However savanna had other ideas, her udder became huge and within a week of first visit, my breeders friends exact words were "she's decided to give you milk, twice a day milkings for you then!!"
we've gradually upped her concentrates and she is being an angel standing in the stand considering she's never had kids.
those 'guinea pig' sized teats are now bigger (took a couple of weeks) and we are able to milk her easily.
currently around 4 pints of milk a day. Enough for the children to have on cereal and milkshakes (vanna milkshakes they are known as and my 4 year old prefers vanna milk because it comes strawberry flavoured!!) but we also have enough for my soap too - and it makes very good soap, very happy
so, happy ending here!
