Woogie man.... You have to remember back in the day my father did not have prepared milk in cans to use. it was a long way to a shop, we lived in the countryside of northern UK...all breeders used local goat farmers milk....in the winter he could not always get out...snow got deep.
He would express milk when needed and it is not always easy...but some moms gush when touched..they were the best...
I have done it a few times to reduce engorged teats...and collected it for a failing one...BUT I use canned myself for a long, long time...
I did have one mom who would stand up and I coudl easily express the milk into a small bowl under her..she was so full it must have made her feel ever so much better.
