Rookie mistakes

This morning, while examining Ethel's udder, I noticed something I should have looked for the day I picked her up. There on the left side of her udder, was a supernumerary teat.

Its about half the size of her actual teat, and right up against it. Dang. That is not a desirable trait in a dairy goat! I can hope that if she kids doelings they wont have them. I can try to breed the trait out using one of Lucys boys as a Buck.

I don't honestly know how detrimental This could end up being bit I do know I don't want a whole herd of extra tested dairy goats.
