Gretel has started putting her bag on, with 19 days until 145 (but who's counting...). The only one theres no positive signs on is Flora. If she isnt bred/doesnt kid, i may throw her in with the bucks and see if i cant get her to come around, otherwise, next year, which will be disappointing as she is SUCH a good milker. She is extra hard to tell though, because despite me drying her up for the past 8 months, she still has milk in there. I stopped pulling milk out every 3 weeks last month, just incase she starts bagging--i dont want to bleed her dry of colostrum.

They have been really good on food with this warmer weather, until today. I arrived home to find they must have spent the entire day GORGING as they went through 3 days worth of food today and theyre all stuffed to the brim, looking like a bunch of drunk chicks juuust about to pass out on the couch.

They do this on occassion, and it is always followed by refusing to eat anything twiggy. Then theyre left hungry for 2 days, and they eat the twigs!

I got my Photography computer hooked back up after a long while and was roaming pictures from summer/fall of last year. Curious of your thoughts. Having looked at these, I have a feeling Flora will not be giving us a kid this year. What are your thoughts.

Not any bigger. Hard to tell though, she never fully dried up
