Weight back on this momma goat we bought

[swiss.susan]

She is a little on the thin side but i don't think she looks horrible either. It shouldn't be too difficult to bring her up a bit, esp if you dry her off quickly and get the parasites under control ( if that's an issue ) Pretty girl

Another thing you might try is upping the fat a little there are two real good products available at most any good feed store that carries Purina Show Feed or Kent Show Feeds.

Purina puts out High Octane Power Fuel Top Dress which is a supplement that is 12% Protein and 31% Fat.
Kent puts out Omegablume and is 15% protein and 20% Fat

Omegablume http://www.kentshowfeeds.com/products/animal-care/omegablume.php

If you want to boost protein and you can get either ShowBloom a 30% protein top dress or High Octane Fitter 35 a 35% protein top dress they both work real well.

Fitter 35 http://www.honorshowchow.com/product_pdfs/High Octane Fitter 35 sell sheet.pdf

Now Purina also puts out a High Octane Heavy Weight that is 8% protein and 70% Fat but I think that would be over kill for what you need to do.

She looks good to me...

I got a doe that had been nursing twins and was much much thinner when I got her. I've had her about 2 weeks, and she's still way thinner than your girl. I've been giving her alfalfa pellets and grain twice a day, plus they all have hay and browse at all times.

In our area, the vets use a 1-10 scale for body condition on goats. She would score a 3-4. You can see the definition of her backbone, hips, and ribs. She is definitely under conditioned, but not severely. I have 3 does in milk that look very similar (as is common on milkers). We feed ours 4-6 quarts (depending on the goat) of 18% protein feed a day, with some alfalfa pellets and Blue Seal Sunshine feed mixed in.
Good hay will help and drying her off will allow weight gain.

Since she was with a buck, I would assume she is bred unless you see her come in heat again. Drying her off now will allow her recovery time before a short cycled kidding.
