It is OK to milk just once a day, and to even skip an occaisional milking. I do both with our family cow, and she is fine. However, it seems that the colored breeds (Jersey, Ayrshire, etc) do better with once-a-day milking that Holsteins.

With once-a-day milking, you will get about 2/3 of the milk you would get doing it twice-a-day. This may work out to be 3 gallons a day, which is a lot for a family to use. Having a few feeder pigs or calves for the surplus can help.
