Goat Udder

[Zombiehumans]

We just brought home 3 Boer goats yesterday. They were free from someone trying to get rid of some. We have a male and two females. One of the females has a noticeable udder and the other does not. I'm 100% new to goats and wondering what, if anything, that means. I'm Googling the heck out of everything, but most things I read tend to assume some basic knowledge I don't have.

Udder is where a goat feeds her babies.! If u want goats for milk u need to have good size udder! A goats udder will fill when she is pregnant and after deleivering baby. The udder keeps on increasing as many pregnancy it has. That means if u need ur goats for milk u need to breed tthm. A nice good udder is round and tight. Also a good udder has not much big not much small, it has a medium size nipples. Small nipples will hard ur work of milikng and and so will large one. If u dont want the goats for milk then there is no need for u to knw much about goat udder. Also u should splash out first squirt of milk beacause it has the possible bacterias

Thats all what i knw
Hope its helpfull for u!

Does that mean the one goat has given birth before, and the other hasn't? I don't want them for milk, just wanted to know why one of them had an udder and the other just had teats close to her belly.

Found out from the previous owner that she had given birth 3 months ago.

Once a goat has kidded the udder never completely goes away. It will shrink once she quits giving milk, but it will never vanish.
