my goat is not pregnant but still has huge udders??whats going on??Shes always been big practically

Huge udders??Has anyone experienced this with goats? She is a meat goat. When we milk her (every few months)trying to get her to dry out she just fills up again....

The way to dry one off is to NOT milk it.
Did she give birth in the last 6 months?
