So, I've had goats for I don't know... 6, 7 years now, however I'm only just recently getting into them and learning more about what to look for in a good goat, as up until now I just had a few Nigerians and a Mini Nubian more for just pets then anything, and the thing I can't figure out is udders! What does a good udder look like? We bought a Mini Nubian buckling and my sister went on about how hideous the mom's udder is, too me though it looked okay? Though it was a bad picture to begin with which didn't help. So I want to know, what's a good udder? Not going to post the picture of the buckling's mom's udder since it's not my goat or anything... but I do have some pictures of my niece's goat that we gave her 2 years ago, they had to move to a new house where they can't have goats so their goats have been at my house since last fall, so I've been the one milking her and taking care of her.
Since she's out of mainly my goats, I'd like to know if her udder is a good or bad one haha!
This is her first freshening, and she's a 1st gen Mini Nubian.
First picture was a few days after kidding, this was with her single doeling nursing off her as we don't bottle feed. (Unless we have too of course, like with the buckling mentioned above!)
The 3 pictures after that were about a month later and after we'd started milking her to feed the buckling, and were taken on a 10-12 hour fill (forget exactly how long it was that day, whoops!)
