Gosh... I don't know how you can tell the health/shape/condition of the animal under all that wool! :barnie They look "fat" but in reality might be all skin and bones under that blanket. I guess you just have to handle them and feel their ribs and along their spine to know for sure. I can see that your Rosie is a lot more filled out than back when she was really thin. :thumbsup

Oh I know it can be hard to tell, but in using the body score (feeling along the spine) I know she is good.

Rosie is finally getting a bag so we should be about a month or so out from lambing. She is huge, and I can tell she is just as ready for her baby as I am! I am confident she will have her baby without any problems. Clover just keeps me guessing, so we will see..
