...ewwww.
Conveniently, the due ND look like they're never going to kid. Nice hard ligs, udders still empty, kids not dropped, mobility still great. I guess we'll see who kids first, team ND with their supposed 145 day gestation or team Lamancha that should be going around day 150 (we synced and bred everyone the same day). The standards are currently so big and clumsy I don't want them on the stand anymore for their own safety but because they are large and in charge and I'm graining at the hay feeder they seem to be getting plenty of sweet feed down there. Plus, I know they are stand broken. Nigerians, in general, are more difficult to handle and change routines on AND the big one is now big enough she doesn't want to fight for grain so they get to be put on that stand for competition-less grain up to twice a day to get used to things.
At least they aren't Nubians.
The never kidders.
