Lily's teats look like they'd be really easy to milk!

If only that were true! She started out fairly easy to milk because of the size and shape of her teats, but her orifices are small--especially the one on the left-hand side. Because that left teat is harder, Lilly's babies have religiously preferred the right (I can't blame them), and no matter how much I tried keeping her udder even, I'm no competition for a baby goat and she still blew out that left teat. It's huge now when her udder is full, which makes it really difficult to milk that side now. I can hardly get my hand around it. Still, other than that she's always had a healthy udder and she's a fantastic producer. If she had the support to match her production she'd be amazing, but unfortunately that's not the case.
