Milking Charts (+ free printable)

Milking Charts + free printable (February 13, 2016) I started keeping milking records when my first cow, Blossom, started milking back in September 2004. I milked her twice a day and would weigh her milk every morning and evening and record the weights. If you are milking a family cow--or a dozen on a small dairy--and want to keep daily milk records I trust that my milking chart will be a handy resource.
I began keeping milking records when my first cow, Blossom, started milking in September 2004. I milked her twice a day and would weigh her milk every morning and evening and record the weight on my paper chart.
