That's just how they are built, I'm afraid. Its only slightly evident in the milk breeds of goats vs. meat breeds. Just a little more protrusion on the hip bones, maybe a leaner neck, flanks and back strap.
Some breeds of milk cow are bonier than are others. I think ol' Blossom is just Born to be Boney! She will fill out on the back, over the ribs and flanks somewhat, but she will always have the boney rump thing goin' on. We will see how much she changes by the end of summer. She will definitely be more sleek and will have a little more padding, but it may take awhile to see some results with the calf nursing and me milking her.
