And a lot has to depend on the goat. Some does just maintain their over all condition better then others. Here thats the herd bosses. They get the best and most food, fight and stay in condition better as they are much more active then the lower ranked does who just kinda wonder around under the radar.
Personally I wouldnt pack a milker other then maybe big really like weight stuff like sleeping bags and pillows. Less then say 10 lbs. If she were in milk, they do make udder bras. Id not take her out without one to protect her udder from getting cut open. If she is not milking and her udder has shrunk for the year, being high and tight, then no bra needed. But I still wouldnt put any more weight on her. The stress of pregnancy, birthing and then raising kids, is quite enough work for any goat. So pack her light and let her enjoy her time, not work through it.
