Getting the feeder colomy to the right size is different for each breeder. But simply put, you over breed ntil you have all the feeders you need at all the sizes you need. Remember, you will be culling smaller and female animals each week for feeders until you only have males left in the grow-out tubs for your largest feeders. If you don't have enough of the larger feeders, you need to increase the colony size. If you have too many, decrease.
