This is my first year as well. Both girls are still locking and eating, no really noticeable swelling or glow yet. Follicles feel about 1/2" in one and 3/4" in the other <-- palpating is definitely something that takes time to learn lol

I started pairing in october and got my first locks in november. Each have locked at least 5 times

This winter has been pretty warm here in cali as well...
