They often try it on to start with .  Once she realises you mean business, she'll probably settle and let you get on with it.

For your goat mated on Dec 23rd you probably should stop milking her two months before she is due to give her time to build up her body again for a new lactation. But it is good to get her into a routine and used to you, then start to dry her off over  a week's period at the end of March.

Well my kids and unmated milkers are still coming into season here, so I think your other girl may well be in-kid.

I love milking my girl even though she dances a bit and I have to milk one side at a time so I can hold the bucket.
