Ok I know this isn't the right post for this but was wondering if I could get everyone's opinion on what I am feeding to help add just a little weight to her (also feeding this to her mom who is due any day between now and 10/9 just double for this doe)
3/4 cup dumor goat pellets
1/4 cup calf manna
1/4 cup boss
1/2 cup oats
1/2 alfalfa pellets
1teaspoon rice bran oil (do not double this they both have just started on rice bran oil)

Also have access to coastal Bermuda hay and browse 24/7 also gets alfalfa/Timothy chopped hay

Thank you for your opinions and critisms (if they come my way) I want to do what is best for them

Buttin Heads I would say are slower maturing animals
Caesars Villa are usually shorter in stature

I was going to say the same thing.

@Bayleaf Meadows the FS does not necessarily tell you much about their size.
I know an over height ND buck cannot score more than an 89

DRAGONFLY RY MARDI GRAS had an FS of of 88 as @ 4-04 but had a stature score of 19 ! As a two year old it was a score of 14

BUTTIN'HEADS LIVELONGNPROSPER as a yearling buck had a FS of 86 (which is pretty good for a yearling ND buck IMO) and had a stature score of 18
If you look at his whole LA sheet you will see that as he aged he earned more "points" in stature score, but as a 4 year old his FS went DOWN to 84

BUTTIN'HEADS SLIVER ECLIPSE had the same score as above with the same stature score and 1-05 years old

PHOENIX FARM ONE KNIGHT STAND at 2yrs 2months had a FS of 84
His stature score was 45


GOTTA B KID N Z BLIZZRD at 4-05 had a FS of 79 with a stature score of 34
two years later her FS went up to an 87

This was just an example. I think the "strength" will play a big role.
This is why its important to look at all the numbers, not just the FS. Going over several years worth of LA is also important.

I would say that was a generalization though
Always exceptions
One of his daughters is tiny
A little over 40 lbs at 18 months old
I have 6 month old kids bigger than her
But some of his other kids very growthy

I have this sisters buck. I can honestly say he is the complete opposite of his brother and sister.
He was the largest of triplets. He was 69lbs at just over a year, I don't have the height but he is definitely taller.

3/4 cup dumor goat pellets
1/4 cup calf manna
1/4 cup boss
1/2 cup oats
1/2 alfalfa pellets
1teaspoon rice bran oil (do not double this they both have just started on rice bran oil)

She doesn't look thin.
I'd cut all that out and stick with just a good dairy goat feed (Blue- seal or Barlett) 1 cup or so a day
Hay- a mix orchard alfalfa or something similar

Running a fecal will tell you if there are parasites or coccidia that may be affecting growth.
If none then she may be growing slower. Some do, some don't.

BTW- I love her sweet face! She is a cutie. But that face...

Thank you I will get one done just as soon as I can get to the vet with my work schedule, she is just as sweet as she looks, she enjoys laying on you for belly rubs.... this pic is of how she likes to lay for them

What is the FS you are talking about?
I know about linear appraisal infact I'll be getting to go to one at a local farm this coming spring (really excited to watch and learn) and I can possibly have one of my does appraised at the same time as hers as long as my does are bred to kid before may (the la is done in May at the farm I'd be going to)really hoping aameerah will make weight (I know not likely to gain enough to make it in such short time but one can hope right lol) but if not I will probably have my buckskin doe Cami done

If you feed a balanced feed when you add things you are usually putting it out of balance
