How many days a year are goats usually milked?

The correct answer is: 260

Goats are typically milked for around 260 days a year. This duration often aligns with the lactation cycle of goats, which is generally about 10 months long. After a successful breeding, does will usually have a gestation period of around 150 days, followed by a dry period before they are bred again. The milking period is considered productive and can vary slightly based on the breed, management practices, and health of the animal, but 260 days is a commonly accepted average. This duration enables goat farmers to optimize milk production while ensuring the animals remain healthy and can have adequate time for recovery between lactation cycles.
