Do you think the recipe would work if the milk was pasteurized. It’s tough for me to get raw milk regularly in New York.

You can keep the milk flowing by ensuring that you milk at regular hours- e.g. every afternoon at around the same time. It is best to get the females pregnant once a year, that keeps their bodies in a healthy cycle. This year we haven’t mated our females yet and their milk supply is lower and they seem unsettled. We will probably mate them this week, I will keep you updated.

How do you keep the milk flowing? Do the females need to be constantly child-bearing?
