Nearly like I do it. I guesstimate 20 ounces per kid per feeding, then when they hit 4 weeks, its all that I have morning, noon and night, 8 weeks of age all they want morning and night. I feed pasturized warm milk. Though I am thinking about using the cold adlib milk next year, since it really has gone main stream and so many good breeders are using it successfully. That is who I get my information from, folks who are doing it! With all the kids on a Lambar or feeder, you sometimes have to makes sure the youngest are getting enough without the older 'hogs' getting it all! I have a 12 week old buck who really doesn't need to drink the intire lambar of milk though he thinks he does! I pull his tube out of the milk every couple of seconds to cut down on the amount he gets, makes him made, but at least the girls get more this way. Vicki
