She does look over conditioned. I would stop the BOSS and grain and see how that goes.

I have a nigerian that also looks preggo all the time. The last time she had babies I was sure she was not done because her belly seemed the same size before having twins as after. I also had a mini mancha that looked preggo at 5 months. My mother saw her and demanded to know why I had bred her at such a young age. I had a hard time convincing my mother she was not bred. The doeling had never even seen a buck let alone got close enough to do anything. Some are just "rounder" than others (just like some of us humans)

Hi,
I just joined this site, and my family raises ND's also.

I don't see a thing wrong with her. I've seen a lot of ND's at shows, and some have a tendency to be shall we say "wide". I own a couple myself. Go to my website and look at Ginger and her daughter Cookie.

Particularly when they are older and have freshened a few times.

As far as overall condition, don't look at her width, feel how much fat is on her spine.

I just want to say that she looks good to me. I have one doe that looks huge all the time, whether she is preggo or nursing 2 babies. She never changes!! But then there are the ones that look starved while their babies are nursing no matter what u do. I would rather them have a little extra fat thru the winter than less
