Typically, yes. You can sometimes still milk the doe even when she hasn't had kids, but usually she won't produce as much, or will be much harder to milk.

What food does a goat eat?
Goats are animals who maintain a hierarchy (what we call with birds a "pecking order"). There is a dominant male in every herd, and also a dominant female. It is the dominant female who decides when and where the goats go out to graze. She expects to be treated with importance, and if she is a dairy goat, she will expect to be milked first. The dominant male (called a "buck") is the biggest and strongest male in the herd. He will continue to be in charge until a younger buck defeats him. Goats often bite or nip at each other. This is not always a sign of aggression, although it can be. Sometimes it is just playful. Baby goats (kids) like to chew-- this is how they explore and decide if something is edible. If nipping and biting can be for fun in the goat world, the same is true for butting: goats are competitive and will butt at each other, sometimes because they are being playful-- but sometimes butting is used to try to defeat each other and rise in the hierarchy. Goats make a sneezing sound when they sense danger, or to warn other goats of something that makes them feel uncertain. With humans, goats are generally very curious and especially if they sense an opportunity for food, they will go after it. Most goats are quite intelligent, and if they know you, they will tend be friendly.
