Development of udder & teats comparison
Here are some examples of udder and teats developments.
If you train their udders and teats from first fresheners (FF), their udders and teats can develop maximum sizes for next 3 years.

During Soleille's first freshening year, she went through DHIA milk testing as a herd member. Her FF milk production was so pathetic that we had to stop in the middle of the season as soon as we reached 5th month...... She basically had only a couple of squirts, twice daily....... Her twin doeling were also extremely tiny. #1.3 & #1.8 @ 147th day kidding.

Second Freshening udder
Kidded: 04/28/2020 1 doeling & 1 buckling

Soleille's second freshening udder was totally different from the year before. The texture of udder and teats were also different. If you are just looking at her udder photos, you would not think those are from the same goat. Her milk production was totally different, too. She earned MDGA & TMGR milk stars at this second freshening. Who would ever thought she would transform like this! She is the best example for the improvement of udder, teats, and the productions!
Her twin kids 5.5# & 6.5# @ 146th day. |

Blackberry's CML A New Hope *P*D
FF udder
Kidded: 03/10/2019 12 Lb buckling

Hope came from big milkers linage and she is big as a F1 Mini Nubian girl. So when I saw her FF udder, I was disappointed. You can see that her udder was not even close to full. Her milk production was also not impressive. She only had a singleton buckling. But the buckling was HUGE! 12.0 # @ 153rd day

2nd Freshening udder
Kidded: 02/25/2020 6.5 Lb & 7.5 Lb Twin doelings
3/10/2020
Hope had twin doelings as a second freshener. Her udder was much fuller than the FF udder but I could see that there was a lot of space to fill up in the future. Her milk production was higher as well. Hope received milk stars from both TMGR & MDGA as a second freshener. Her twin doelings were 6.5 # & 7.6 # @ 152nd day.
