i have two saanen does (both first time preg) who are due about may 18 and there udders are coming in a bit. they both have teats that are just a bit longer then the width of my first two fingers. on pics of first freshener udders that i have seen the udder is large and round and pretty but the teats seem so tiny. like they would be quite a pain in the butt to milk. now it may just be me or just the way they look in the pics makes the teats seem tiny and short. but do most first fresheners fill all out like that?
my parents had this one doe who's udder looked wonderful when it was full but her teats were about the size of my pinky, tip to first knuckle. which is less then an inch long. i could never milk her so my mom or dad always milked her. and you can imagine what a pain that was to milk her out...

anyone got some first freshener udder pics i can see?
thanks!

Here's one of mine. Great teat size and length for a ff and super easy to milk. Some are a little trickier to get started, but the teats do lengthen through lactation if you're milking. It probably won't be as bad as you think once you get a month or so in.
