[QUOTE="AllForage, post: 1242921, member: 14878"] We had two family jerseys a few years ago. I suggest having a stanchion or head gate set up for first milkings. We let calf nurse all the colostrum and she had enough milk for us and calf. I don't believe the holding back thing. Once cslf starting getting some size, we would separate them by gate at night then milk in morning. Turn calf in the rest of day. The calf constantly nursing keps her milk production up imo. [/QUOTE]
