Udders

When do they goats udders start to form when there pregnant?

Every goat is different, but mine all seem to have bump you can feel at about half way, they don't get too much bigger than a handful until they are about 3 weeks out and then they seem to appear all at once. All five of my does have done the same thing every time so far.

Normally around 6 weeks before they are due you will start noticing a little udder filling in. Some will start to get a little bit at 8 weeks before kidding, but almost always by 4 weeks before kidding there is an obvious udder development, Not huge but obvious. and like mamaboid say, the last 3 weeks or so is when it really starts to grow. But it really varied between breeds and ages of the goat as far as how big it gets before she kids. My 2 year old Boer does don't have hardly any udder compared to my 10 year old nubian Boer cross.

And sometimes the first fresheners really fool you - they can wait right up to the last week or two before showing anything.
