I'm not sure how I'm going to cut Cloud's concentrates back when she kids. She and Pom share a shed and their buckets, and Cloud is greedy.


How long do you cut down? I could possibly make a temporary division in the shed but she wouldn't be able to get outside then and I don't think she'd be too impressed with that.

Just cut both back for a few days. Or you can feed one inside the she one outside...

I think cutting both back is the best thing as they tend to pick at their feed rather than eating it all in one go. Their first interest is the Just Grass.  Hope it doesn't affect Pom's milk yield.
