This is this afternoon. They are devouring their second load of cuttings. This is Ricky. I think he may explode.

They all look pretty good to me
How old are the Nubians?
She's a little slender but appears to have a good amount of flesh on her loin in that first picture
Is that her kid?

The nubian will be 2 in feb. I got her a few weeks ago. She has never been bred. The one next to her in the first pic is my lamancha doeling. The nubian's breeder waits until the second year for first breeding. She has a much better appetite than when I first got her and I do usually give her 3/4 lb of grain morning and night. The breeder said she was a little thin. Another breeder said she was a little thin. She is the only one whose belly didn't look so huge after today's second round of clippings. I gave no grain this evening because 3 of them looked bloated.

I think you are fine
The Nubian doe seems slender to me but not too thin
Slender just being her body type not too "skinny"
My opinion
