age to sell

[Reed77]

I have a commercial boer buckling that I don't need, he is about 2 weeks old. What age can I sell him at the earliest?

[Backfourty,MI.]

Is he being bottle or dam raised? If dam raised & 2 weeks old it may be kinda hard to switch him over to a bottle at this age. If he's on the dam & was mine I wouldn't let him go until 10 weeks or so at the earliest.

I was thinking bottle feed, but he's being dam raised now.

If you could get him switched over to the bottle you could sell him as soon a he's eating the bottle well. Would be tough to switch a 2 week old over though.....not saying it can't be done, it just won't be easy.

If you can't get him on the bottle then I would wait until weaned.
