I don't even use my strip cup on my does until they are milking 4 weeks. That is when I also start weighing the milk each Monday. When a doe first freshens, even some older does, they can pass all sorts of stuff from their udder. Blood and tissue, clots and strings. Just look closely at the bottom of the milk jug, especially of really good milkers, and especially in first and second fresheners. I would not be alarmed, if you are at all curious you could send in a milk sample. Get the address from your vet (or dairy goat mentor) of where they would send a milk sample in and bypass the vet, send it in yourself. But with no other symptoms, and especially if her milk tastes sweet and good, I wouldn't be using any antibiotics or anything until I got a milk test back. Vicki
