I'm fairly new to milking and I've got a goat that I'm milking. I have found a
small marble sized knot in her udder. Does anyone have any suggestions? Her milk
is fine. She had triplets back in March. I have sold two of the doelings but
still have a little buckling nursing and I'm milking once a day. It's not
getting any larger. I only discovered this a couple of days ago but it's
possible it could have been there a while. Any help would be appreciated. I
don't have the money to run to the vet and she seems fine.
