Barn Babe
I second the fecal for worms. I am used to pygmy and ND but she does look a bit thin or like her rumen is not developed. She does not look abused though so no need to feel embarressed
What is she eating?
SarahFair said:I shaved her yesterday to get a better look at her body condition.. You cant feel her spinal (except for the top, obviously) and her ribs are not visible. I doubled up on her hay and she seems to stay "fuller"
Honestly Im wondering if its because before she was the low goat on the rung and was getting run off... now that shes the queen shes worried about running everyone off when it comes to feed time.
Ive put out double the hay and spread it much much further apart into "social settings". Of course she still runs from stack to stack chasing everyone but the kids off
But at least now there is enough so when everyone else has had their fill she can graze without worrying about bullying
