Phase one of the east fresian dairy sheep milking parlor complete

Last season, we moved the dairy sheep along with the hair sheep using a mobile milking stanchion. It worked well but this year we decided to try a static paddock system for just the dairy sheep close to the house to save time. This shelter will act as a milking parlor and as stall to separate the lambs from the ewes at night. I still have to build the stall and add gates. Looking forward to having a flow of fresh milk again. We didn't freeze nearly enough and have been buying milk over the winter.

How much milk per animal are you getting at the onset?

~1qt/day was what we were getting last season but it was our first time and we were flying by the seat of our pants with no mentorship.
