Could I ask another under this heading?
I have 2 x 9w old males rearing for the freezer, currently on 3 x 350ml a day, slowly down from their 500ml, after following wytsend's advice about not giving them too much.
What rate should I be reducing? They are on a mix of replacer and goats milk, I don't want to be buying another back of replacer if I can help it, but I don't want their growth to slow. They do eat concentrates, but I've only just got them to drink water so. The younger ones with their mums followed mum's example and drink.
Do I still aim to wean at 12 wks or do meat boys take milk for longer?
I'm beginning to wonder if I should have taken these boys on, but at least it's nice to get them onto grass when its dry weather
