How do I tell by feeling if my girls are heavy enough? My cashmeres have always been nice and round all over but the Alpine and the Oberhasli always seem bony to me. I'm used to checking the ribs and back bone for condition. Where should I be feeling on these dairy girls? If I feed them enough to cover their hips and backbone I have a feeling that's too heavy.
