We milk twice a day. 4-5 gallons each day. Morning milk went straight to pigs - this cut their food bill in half. Afternoon milk (2 is gallons) we would refrigerate then skim cream in the morning for coffee, butter, ice cream, etc. Once a week I would use a gallon for yogurt. I gave/sold 3 gallons a week. We fed clabbered milk to meat birds during the summer (1 1/2 gallons each day for 50 birds).
There was a beautiful flow of resources once I got the hang if it. A real economy (management) of goods.
There were times I was overwhelmed. But the worst that could happen is it gets poured on the garden or more gets fed to pigs.
