Just realising that out there someone in Wairarapa is milking sheep to make that feta i like. Of course but still hard to think of milking sheep. Do they line up and take their spin on a turn table milker?

We got an ex milker and her lambs when I was a kid! I was always amazed at the size of her udders. We hand milked her I think once? None of the other sheep we bred from that breed ever had udders that big, I think you have to do the milking more than the lambs do to get the udders to produce much
If you ever move to the wops and have paddocks to keep them I highly recommend sheep friends. They are very kind (sans the occasional troublemakers) and wool is an incredible fibre. We had East Frisians. Unfortunately the white faced breeds can be prone to sunburn on their ears and noses in summer
