Well, your code looks right, and the "rocky" prefab does have a lootdropper component. But it only has a lootdropper component on the server, and not on the clients. I'm guessing your server has caves on it, which means you are a client on the server, and so you get this error.

Look at the prefabs you're changing. If whatever components you're changing/accessing are added after this part of their initialization function, fn():

    if not TheWorld.ismastersim then
        return inst
    end

...then you also need to do this check, or something similar, before making the changes.

In this particular instance, where you're only changing things which need to be on the server, I'd just do this:

if not GLOBAL.TheWorld.ismastersim then
    AddPrefabPostInit("lightninggoat",MilkGoat)
    AddPrefabPostInit("rocky",AddRockCrabmeatLoot)
    AddPrefabPostInit("beefalo",AddBeefaloGutLoot)
end

Alternatively, if your AddPrefabPostInit's at some point contain both client and server code, you can change them to look like this.

local function MilkGoat(inst)
    -- Do client stuff
    if not GLOBAL.TheWorld.ismastersim then
        return inst
    end
    -- Do server stuff
	inst:AddComponent("beard")
	inst.components.beard.prize = "goatmilk"
	inst.components.beard.bits = 3
	inst.components.beard.daysgrowth = 3 + 1 
end
