A mother goat's milk will build up if the baby dies, and dry out eventually if it is a meat or fibre goat. If it is a dairy goat, milking will be necessary, or the goat's udder will burst and no one will ever be able to milk it again. Kids on a dairy goat help keep the udder from, at best, distending, or at worst, bursting. Milking also helps the goat get used to the milking routine.
The Udder.
The teats on the udder.
The udder will only swell, the cow is dropping her milk into the milk cisterns in the udder for the calf to suckle.
A calf would drink the milk direct from a cows udder, or it can be fed the milk from a bottle, but you can not put the milk back into the udder.
UDDER
Udder size is heritable, yes. This is quantified by milk production: as we've seen in dairy cows, the larger the udder the more milk a cow will (or should) produce.
it dies
The udder.
Her udder.
There are a number of things that you can do. If the cow has developed an udder and is just not letting her milk down, try to administer about 2-3 cc of oxytocin into the rump area (by the udder but not into the udder). Wait a couple of minutes after giving the needle and see if she has let her milk down (either have the calf suckle or strip some milk out of the udder by hand). If she has not developed an udder, you will have to either try to get another cow to adopt the calf or feed the calf milk replacer. You might have to cull the cow if she did not develop an udder as she may not be able to produce milk in the future.
It depends on the mare. You may feel milk in the mare's udder when she has a month left to foal, or you may feel milk in the mare's udder right after she has foaled.
