    Oh, shave 'em LOL. The chocolate buckskin is a little over-loved - as she should be going into her first lactation (FFs tend to take their lactations harder). Aggie...hooks?? Do you mean hips? AB is somewhat mutton-withered (not very sharp over the withers), and with the hair over them...

    I KNOW AB - she was one of our first goats...so I know what's right for her. She's under conditioned. With her, unless she's lactating, you should not see her hip bones or spine. Remember, you cannot judge a goat's condition by it's belly. If she were shaved, everyone would see what I'm...

    I forgot to mention Java Latte! She is getting close, probably will beat Marybelle. She's rebred to NeYo because she produced the PRETTIEST kids by him last time - including our 2011 Daviess Co. Reserve Supreme Champion Dairy Doe!! (that's a reserve BIS)

    Just saw this - hot is not the word...Hades comes to mind. Heat indexes have been in the 110+ area for a couple or three weeks, actual temps near 100, and it's in the 90s in the shade. Humid enough to cut, hard to breath and you sweat but there's no point because there's no breeze. We have...

    Thanks, Karen. I need to get you new photos of all the Epi kids...it has been an interesting couple of weeks with them but they're really changing, too. The little moonspotted Epi clone boy is NICE.

    AB is NOT overweight, she's actually a little under (I can see her hips)...so do not restrict her feed. Her belly is just big because she's aged, has kidded a lot, and has a good rumen. The other doe might be bred, she does look a little extra round... ETA not saying you're not feeding AB...

    I'm pretty sure Marybelle will be next - she's bred to HM C Heza D Lux (his first kids). Blue eyes possible. An old picture of MB (as a yearling) DLux

    AB...I miss her! Never should have let that one go... She looks open to me. Sounds like she's in heat.
