Our Goat is Dripping Colostrum BEFORE She Has Her Baby (or Babies).

Pregnant goat, dripping colostrum...


In the morning, when we fed the goats, we saw that one of our pregnant does was dripping colostrum. Colostrum is like gold to baby goats. We didn't want it to go to waste, so we brought our doe to our milking stand. It was her first time being pregnant, so it was hard milking her tiny teats, and trying not to let her foot get into the milk or kicking the milk bucket over. 

Cocoa's bag dripping colostrum

We milked maybe a tablespoon or two of colostrum from our doe, so hopefully that will stop the dripping, until she has her baby.  If her bag keeps dripping, we will have to  keep adding to Cocoa's colostrum until we get a baby goat born. We will give you a update later... 

We put our doe (Cocoa) in a milking stand and milked her. 

Hopefully we'll catch Cocoa giving birth! 


Update: Cocoa gave birth to two, healthy female kids about a month after she dripped a little bit of her colostrum.
