Hi, I wonder if anyone can help??
For some reason, my mini herd (ten of them) seem to be drinking an awful lot of water at the moment, far more so than in the summer. Now, I appreciate that they are eating hay as opposed to grass, but they seem to be drinking a hell of a lot anyway.
Also, having been running with my (unproven) bull since September, all the heifers seem to be putting on a lot of weight. Would it seem feasible that they are showing signs of being pregnant so soon??
Also, would the fact that they are perhaps in calf account for the fact that they are drinking a lot??
I do apologise for being a little bit blonde, and any and all input would be most helpful. At the moment, with no local shows to go to to pick peoples brains, I tend to get whatever information I can from this forum. I look forward to hearing back from you soon.
THanks.
