Growing udders

[SmallFarmGirl]

Have you ever had a doe quickly get an udder? I mean; have you ever had a bred doe have a tiny udder one day and A HUGE one the
next and kid shortly after? How quick have you seen a doe develop an udder and kid?

I'm hoping that this will help me tell if betty is of how far along she is.

They usually develop a very small udder about 2 months away from kidding and then a very big udder a day or hours from kidding. They rarely ever develop an udder suddenly the day of kidding.

My goat just gave birth and her udder was formed about 1 to 2 months in so I would expect a kid next month!!!

When it comes to livestock, you can expect anything. While generally they would slowly develop an udder, females can develop an udder overnight.
