Hi Joy,

Thanks for getting those photos up!  Were she mine I'd want to see her trimmer for sure but she's not what I would consider an 8.  I'd put her at a 6+ but she's not quite pushing a 7 based on the pictures so that's a good thing.  https://ecir.groups.io/g/main/files/Case%20History%20Tools/Tools%20and%20How-To%20Help/Body%20Condition%20Scoring%20Guide.pdf for a visual guide to body scoring may be helpful.  

For arguments sake I'd feed her as if you want her to be 1000lbs as an ideal weight so no pasture time without a closed muzzle, no alfalfa hay and cut back on the concentrates.  I'm not sure why I typed 18lbs the other day - 2% of 1000 would be 20lbs a day max but you may need to tweak that down if she's not losing weight on that amount. Also, no Himalyan salt as the color comes from impurities like iron which Emmy definitely does not need.  

I'm curious to see where her ACTH tests on the increased dosage (which she definitely needed) and also where her insulin falls with increased exercise and a tighter diet.
