Well...I’m glad she’s doing better, but...ouch!
These are for meat, right? How does it all work? How old do they get before...um...processing?
The ones we have now are the breeding stock. They’ve ended up with names, against my better judgement. Our Rose is the doe without a toe. Seems like she’s gonna make it. The other doe is called Hyzenthlay and the buck is called Buck Naked. (Steve named him.)
The does are 2 months old and the buck is 3 months old. They’ll be ready to breed when they’re about 4 months old. Gestation takes four weeks.
Each doe should have around 8-10 kits. The kits wean at four weeks old. When they reach four pounds, that’s when you process them. That is usually 4 weeks after weaning.
Tastes like chicken.
