2012 kid weights

Wow I just tape measured the kids and they are all between 90-95lbs at 6 months of age . Good job growing ladies! I am shocked...I think they are actually a bit on the portly side and I might just be cutting down on their grain a bit because they are feeling a bit "thicker" than I would like. But I just HAD to share!

Thanks Minelson! Weighing them made me feel better because after my fecal numbers (which I did talk to my vet about) I was feeling like I had done something wrong but after seeing their weights I feel I am still on the right track.

I discussed the fecal numbers with the vet and I feel better now, she told me the numbers where not horrible like I had thought at first, the worst pen was the does and I think I know exactly why. The other two pens have dry bedding but the does pen hasn't been cleaned out in months (something I am dealing with ASAP).


I was just happy to see my girls growing so good .
