The best breed I can suggest is one that is dual purpose, being Dexter or Red Poll. You don't want to have a breed that gives literally the least amount of milk because you'll reach a point where you won't have enough milk for your family. And I highly doubt that's something you don't want to end up with!
Might I also suggest decreasing milking times to only once a day. It'll be easier that way on you and your time schedule because it sounds like you have no time to be milking twice a day. Once a day milking is possible and can be easily done, especially with those breeds that don't produce nearly as much milk as Holstein or Guernseys. Holsteins, by the way, were a poor choice because they give the most amount of milk of any breed. Guernseys and other dairy breeds are ones that are just that--milk cows, designed to give a lot of milk per milking or day. So, dual purpose breeds are the way to go.
