Great info. Thank you from Australia.

I'm about to begin drying off my cow Mabel. We are still on twice a day, and she is giving about 2 and a quarter Gallons total. I think I'll start skipping the evening milking and see how that goes... she had a very slight mastitis in one quarter a few months ago, didn't require anything but extra milkings for a few days, but I'm scared to reduce now! Thanks for the info.
