What age do you take bucks out?? I've been taking them out at 3-4 weeks (size dependent) but I would really like to leave them longer so thought I would ask.....

 

[Cait]

I never remove them before 4 weeks, usually at 4.5 weeks old and never had any pregnancies doing this

I always take them out at the age of 4,5 weeks and never had any problems too.

 

[NaomiR]

so you reckon I'd be okay leaving them 'till 5 weeks??

 

[Cait]

I think that's borderline, 4.5 weeks is fine, they are weaned by then and gain no extra benefit from staying longer.

 

[NaomiR]

okay 4.5 weeks
