She is a dairy goat and they should look like that. Since she has produced kids and was milked her body will be different than NutMeg's, who is a pudgy teenager right now. I think you should put Clover in the milking stand and see if you can feel anything kicking and feel the udder and see if she is starting to bag up or if it's just left over from last kidding. You should be able to feel the difference. Also is her tail changing? You will see hollows on either side of her tail. And everything "down there" will get loose and start to droop. I sure hope she is. There is nothing...I mean nothing cuter than Nigerian Dwarf babies. Clover is not really skinny. She is a dairy goat and they should look like that.

Mmmmm I can almost taste one now! lol I have a Hoosier - the sifter is gone and we use the bin to store recycled grocery bags, plus mine has a bread drawer. It's not a really old one, but I love that thing :yes: Dede Great story – my dad loved sorghum on biscuits – mixed with softened butter then slathered on a hot biscuit half.

All those homemade cookies too!!! I found out the hard way that feral/stray cats could have two litters in one spring/summer. At one point there were 12 kittens from 2 females where previously they were only having one - I guess I fed them too well!!!

Get a good look from their rears as they walk away.
