I wonder if you could make a "bra" of sorts to hoist them up a bit? They mainly seem to be used for weaning or milking goats but i wonder if you could make holes for her teats?
How many teats does she have? How many of them actually give milk?

OK-- she isn't a show goat and appears to have extra teats BUT she had kids and is a good mom! Now, you don't want to use her doelings for repro as this is an inherited issue but, let's get the kids grown and gone. :)

The have obviously learned to kneel and nurse. Seems ok. Beyond that, remember even the "not so perfect" need love and this doe is getting it at this farm. Weigh the kids daily to see they are nursing. She looks to have enough milk. They will switch teats to get milk. Mother Nature will help you out.

Cngrats on the kids!
