I have a 1st time freshener, who I raised from a kid. She began developing an udder early. She freshened, has a huge udder, but it is hard. She has tested negative for CAE, and mastitis. I milk her every 12 hour, but only get about a quart out of her. I have tried heated clothes and peppermint rubs. I hate to sell her, but am at my wits end....

Test her again, make sure it's the ELISA not the AGID test some states offer for free.
CMT her for mastitis.
Then just keep milking and milking and milking. If she's negative for both and still like that in 2 months then consider selling her.
She sounds congested or holding back.

I find the texture of each udder fascinating. one of my FF has a meaty udder. she too developed an udder 6 weeks prior to kidding, wench had me on kid watch for what felt like forever.. Happily went outside and found two dry bucklings in the afternoon. is it hot? easy to milk? what breed of goat? cherie
