My 2 year old female goat suddenly has her utter looking fuller and visible to the on looker. I could never see them before.
Do goats go through puberty and suddenly grow boobies?
-
Normally this might occur with a goat that was shortly going to kid.
If she has not been mated..... to your knowledge ! ...... than it is possible she may be a maiden milker.
What breed/or type is she ?

A phone call would be great.....however I am in Pennsylvania, USA.
I don't know all the lingo so please excuse my silly vocab.
The female is a mix. She was meant for the chopping block at a dairy and I was given her and another of the same type. The ears look like a LaMancha.
I had a castrated boar in with them up until a month ago. Do castrations come undone?
-
I am aware of maiden milkers because I read plumseverywhere's post.
-
if a male was not castrated properly... then yes he could have served her successfully. The other clue is the state of her vagina is it more puffy than normally tight closed. If so she is in kid.
Otherwise you have a maiden milker.
