How old ?? I need some advice for feeding
« on: November 28, 2012, 03:44:43 pm »
Hi everybody
I have some weaners that are approx 40-45kg, son how old do people think they may be?? I need to know this so I am feeding them the right quantity. I have guessed at about 4 months so they are each getting 4lb of food a day? Does this sound right folks?
Cheers

stick to the rules of 20 mins max to finish their feed, and you can feel the ribs and spine but not protuding too much.
feeding by sight for condition is better husbandry in my opinion.
they may be 5 mths old depending on alot of variable ie breed, weather, exercise, previous feeding.
