I will keep you posted, it will be the end of next summer. Right around this time. That way you can raise them through winter and finish them on pasture the next summer.

Donāt let em smell bloodā¦
1/2 cup of feed soaked in goats milk, this is all we are currently giving them on the daily, minus their little bit of alfalfa. The feed is 16% protein swine grower/maintenance, we go with the mash cuz itās cheapest. Itās also better to mix with the milk. The crumbles turn into a firm cement when mixed with milk lol

No, too much chance for the prey to fight back and injure the snake. Iāve had a snake die from a rat biting itās head while trying to constrict it. The guy gave me 3 frozen rabbits with her, and that should last 3-4 months.

I thought so! Ones a little smaller than the rest, going to just grow him big enough to roast wholeā¦
But even then, count him out, itās a steal even for 3 of them imo. I will come out way on top.
The other 3 bigger ones I will grow out, I have read itās best to butcher them anywhere between 12-18 months. Iām hoping to finish them more on the 12-14 month side of that range, just because then they would be able to be finishing on pasture, instead of in alfalfa hay and a little grain. But that will totally depend on what they weigh in at at that point. I plan to sausage most of it: chorizo, breakfast sausages, brats, Italian sausage, etc. we have a bad ass grinder and sausage stuffer set up Iām stoked to use on them. Only really used it for deer and goat so far.
