I would take off the ones you think will have the best chance of being bottle reared - perhaps leave one.  I sold 3 kids at 5 days old to people to bottle rear as they were triplets to save me bottle rearing them. I charged £75 for a 100% male (I don't castrate males anymore) - that included £25 for the disbudding.  The people I sold them to were competent stock people so I see no danger in selling them in these circumstances.  What I would never do is sell them at a market or such like.  The male I will register if when he is older I view him and consider him as good enough (subject to an additional fee) which he might well be given his genetics and how his siblings are turning out to be. Just my views
