I have a saanan first freshener. She had a buckling on Monday, 5/15/13. Before she kidded she had a very little udder. Since she had one kid she was able to produce enough milk for him and her udder has developed well. I am not bottle feeding. Today when I put her on the stand I was able to milk her a little. I noticed that the udder is very red around the teats. The teats do not look red. The milk looks good. no blood or clumping. Later that morning I noticed that the doe would lick her udder around the teats. Help! I have never seen this before on any of my does. Should I put something on the udder? or is this normal. This is my first saanan (pink udder); my other does are alpines with black udders.
