[QUOTE="Farmerjon, post: 855315, member: 17113"] From day one in the stall with outside access, they have a hay manger with a couple flakes of alfalfa/grass hay mix and then a couple flakes of grass hay or grass and oats hay mix. Some prefer one over the other, just provide the choice as I have those two mixes usually in small square bales. Then some type of starter mix or grain mix with beef pellets added to raise the protein. When we wean off of the bottles, we go to half bottles in the morning, full bottles at night. Then we go to no bottles in the morning, half bottles at night. After a week of that no bottles at night. We water using a lamb water trough and monitor how well they are eating and drinking water before deciding to start weaning. Anyone that looks thin sometimes gets held back and continued on milk, no use losing body condition just to ease the chore load. Like anyone elses farm, we have plenty of chores. :nod: [/QUOTE]
