Hi everyone. We are having trouble keeping up the weight of our herd satin angora bucks and can't figure out why. They maintain but do not gain and don't want to eat more than what will maintain them. They are both about a half pound under the standard minimum for satin angoras. We do not have this issue with our satin angora does. The does are eating great, gaining great, and maintaining body condition even while lactating. Others have mentioned they have the same issues with keeping weight on their bucks. Is there a way to put a little more weight on the bucks? Or is this what we should expect? We are fairly new to satin angoras and I haven't had this issue with other breeds. They're on an 18% protein feed with BOSS and small amount of oats.
I appreciate any feedback!
