Milking log:
3/21 - Stella & Doug weren't separated due to work schedules, 1.5 qts anyway.
3/22 - 3 qts after 4 hours separation.
3/23 - 3 qts, 4 hours separated, and I let Doug have a drink after Stella slowed up, so she'd let down again (double-dipping, I call it).
3/24 - 3.5 qts, 5 hours off, double-dipped.
3/25 - 2 qts, 4 hours off, no double-dipping. We had company over to watch the milking procedure, and Stella did fine. I stopped after 2 qts so as not to push my luck.
3/26 - 3 qts, 3 hours off, double-dipped.
3/27 - 3.5 qts, 5 hours off, double-dipped.
3/28 - 3 qts, 5 hours off, double-dipped.
Stella is getting pretty consistent with giving 3 quarts if I let Doug back on her for a minute after the first couple quarts. I still think she could easily give another quart, but not without me having to finagle it out of her.
