Terrible:
If you look at this udder you will see the TOP of the udder is actually WAY down low. The attachments are extremely weak so It is not held up high and tight against the body. An udder like this is at risk of being damaged easily. When running this udder will swing like a pendulum out away from the goats body. Each lactation will likely weaken this udder and it will get lower and lower over time. This particular doe would actually step on her udder when standing up. =( This was only her 1st Freshening.
