We have 4 lovely 8.5 week old kits that are 3/4 or more FG -- they are close to 6 lbs now.
Now... Fryer weight is usually around 5 lbs?
I don't have the experience to know when they are ready... They definitely don't have the meatiness to them of my meat breeds (I remember that my Cali buck at that age was like a slab of meat :lol: ).
I will be taking these guys to the butcher as I'm not ready to do it yet and if we want to sell we need a licensed processor (Ontario).
How will I know when to do it if weight isn't a great indicator given the giant genes?
(Dad was only 13# and mom is the mix and she's 10-11#)
Thanks!
