She is a bit skinny. However, i think that is more HER doing. LOL I just went out for the afternoon watering and treats, and all the rest of the goats were after the food, and SHE wouldn't leave my side and just wanted to be scratched and loved on.

I told her, "Sweet girl, scratches aren't going to put any pounds on those bones."

She has yet to finish a ration of grain that I have given her either, which I find odd. The rest of my goats, except for Claire, but she is tiny, have to be DRAGGED, kicking and screaming, away from food. Little Gretta just decides that if you are leaving the barn, then she is done eating and is ready to follow you to the house.

I guess she'll settle down after a bit and start applying herself to some rich grain. My girls generally stay a few miles wide and they beep when they back up. My boys are muscular and svelte, but that is because all they get is browse, and they still could probably stand to lose a pound or two. Since everything around me tends to get fat, except for DH and myself for some odd reason, I am not worried about her *gaining* weight. Eventually, she will.

The other doe was a good bit heavier, but I didn't like her personality as much.
