What this sheet is for

See which does actually milk well across a whole lactation rather than on the days you happened to notice.

Who it is for

Dairy goat keepers, smallholders and anyone deciding which does to breed from.

How to use it

  1. Measure the same way, at the same times, every day you record.
  2. Note days in milk — a yield without it cannot be compared.
  3. Record feed changes on the day they happen.
  4. Total the lactation at the end; that is the number worth keeping.

What is on the sheet

The layout is fixed at a size that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the A4 and Letter files are visually identical and print at full size on either. Rows are set at a height that an adult can actually write a date and a few words into with a pen — most printable tables are built in a word processor and never tested with one.

Questions

What yield should a goat give?

It depends entirely on breed, stage of lactation, age and feeding, and a printed figure would flatter some does and condemn others unfairly. Your own herd over two seasons is the only benchmark worth having.
