I have been overdue for a new picture of Diva for some time. she is still hanging in there, still strong and not as underweight as we figured that she would be. she is pictured here with Dixie, her cohort standing behind her.
As a reminder, she and Dixie are a month apart in age, and Dixie has kidded once and milked for 7 months.
She is still hunched down at the hips a little, and of course still has the blocky head.
In comparison to her half sister Dahlia (same sire), who is Normal by test, she is growing at about the same rate. We are seeing Caesar's kids (the few out there) are slower to come into the full bodies look that we like to see, they stay gawky and awkward up until at least a year old. Dahlia just passed her first birthday and suddenly started looking like a real doe, although still very much a teenager.
Diva is now one year and nine months and a handful of days old.
