minimum weight for breeding subocs?

mingdurga Jun 11, 2009 02:13 PM

Is 400 grams a good minimum weight before introducing female for breeding and over 3 yrs. of age? Or is bigger better?

Thanks,

Mike

400 grams is plenty big enough. i weigh my females just prior to cooling them each winter. a female that weighs 250 grams at the time of cooling will be big enough to breed the following season, age is not a factor. my recommendation is to breed your 400 gram female. kevin muchnick

Worded my question wrong. My females are in the 330 range. I meant to say females in the past that were over the 400 mark.
