Jen continues to gain weight even while lactating, with the help of a round bale and plenty of oats.
She has a few issues she needs to overcome. She is a little spookier than the rest of my lot about different things going on around the farm (kids running around, machinery, etc.) but we'll work on all that. She also needs to learn some manners, as she can be quite pushy, especially with food, and doesn't think twice about walking over the top of you. So we are now working on her manners in just our daily activities, and when Ana gets a little bigger, we'll do some more formal desensitazation work, and manners.
Ana is a little doll, is very, very outgoing and people friendly. She loves to be scratched everywhere, and is learning to have her halter on/off, and leading for short distances. She picks up all 4 feet with no problem, we will soon progress to holding them up for a few seconds or so at a time as she gets bigger and better able to balance on 3 legs.
