What happens to a mother goats milk if the baby goat dies?
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.

Will a cow's udder explode if they are not milked?
If you stop milking a cow, the udder will get really big, but will not explode. The milk will slowly diminish and the udder will get back to normal size after a while, and she will not be giving milk any more. Of course, to get her to start milking again, she will need to give birth to another calf. However, you can get her back milking again if you start milking before she completely dries up, but she will likely be producing less than initially.
