When Can You Milk A Goat After Kidding?
Goats can typically be milked within 24-48 hours after kidding. This allows the kid to consume enough colostrum, the nutrient-rich milk that the mother produces during the first few days after giving birth. After this initial period, it is safe to begin milking the goat. The amount of milk produced will gradually increase over the next few weeks as the kid grows and the goat’s body adjusts to the demand for milk.
