Should I be limiting Alfalfa?

My 8-month-old doeling is looking pretty chubby.  She and her mama get a flake of alfalfa hay a day, BUT when they run around the yard she usually climbs up into my improvised hay "barn" and sneaks a snack.  She doesn't get any grain or other supplemental feed.  She's really gotten round the last six weeks or so.

  • I was feeling her hips today and I think she may be slimming down a bit since our new load of hay....maybe the last load was "extra rich."

  • I put my doeling and wether on a diet because he was getting way too round and she was not that far behind...Alas with the cold I gave them extra bedding hay and they ate it all by morning lol.
