I'm not sure, but I do know that you need to milk them the same time every day, otherwise the milk production suffers.
Fortunately, it's only in leap years that that you have to do that 366 days a year. Other years you can get by with 365 days a year getting up at 5 AM, so you can be in the barn and started by 6 AM, And of course you have to be there again at 6 PM every afternoon.
Again, if you do decide to do this, it's only 7 days a week, not the 8 days a week the Beatles sang about! It will only SEEM like 8 days a week,

Ha! An excellent point, and well put.

Yeah, our food is cheaper than it ever has been in the history of this world. That's thanks to the American farmer.

I used to be one, and produced 250,000 market hogs in the years I farmed. That's over 17,000 tons of pork meat.

I know a little about having to be at work 7 days a week 365 a year. Christmas, new Years etc, were shorter 4 hour days, with rotating schedules. It's a grinding schedule.
