Hi I have just bought two goats they are twin sisters and 2 year old, they both only have 1 developed side udder and other side is tiny. The last owner told me that they have never had kids, and that they are not pregnant. I’m wondering if this is normal. Please let me know if any has see this before. Thank you.

precocious udders is possible, if not pregnant.

Good milkers can do that.

Keep an eye on it.

Is it soft or hard feeling?

Welcome to The Goat Spot! It is possible for does to develop precocious udders which I believe is what you are seeing here.

Could be @Rancho Draco. It sounds like that could definitely be the problem.

I don't think there is. Just make sure to watch it for signs of mastitis. They usually develop normally during pregnancy

Okay thank you. I just watched a video where they said to milk them so infection does not happen. I will try this tomorrow.

The last owner said that they were with a buck in the field but after they separated they went into heat again so she didn't think they were pregnant.

I agree with possible PU. Since they are lop soded...I wouldnt mess with them more than checking fluid for infection.
If not bred already the beat way to eventually it Is to breed them 😉

Hi so I read that you can smell if it is infected if the milk close out. I tried in the beginning but it seemed blocked so with warm warm I washed her udder, and. Took of Some dry stuff, slowly as I milked the liquid came out and then some more blocked stuff and then I noticed my goat was seeming really relieved as I milked her so I just got all the liquid out. It is not milk but a almost see through liquid, it does not smell all bad so I don’t think there is infection. Please give me your thoughts, did I do the right thing? My goat does seem happier... and does any one know what this clear liquid is?

It wouldn't hurt to do a round of treatment. That "milk" looks a bit caramelized color? And is it thick?
