Spontaneous milker

DD was clipping her 3.5 month old alpine for show and she started dripping milk everywhere. Is this normal in a goat so young? I've only heard of this in older goats. Thanks Annie

Precocious milkers run in family lines. Was her mother like that? The age does sound unusual to me, but if you have a precocious or precipitous milker, be happy. Most people would give their eye teeth for one.
