As long as the feedings are 16 ounces and are 4 hours apart you can feed as many times a day as you want. I feed colostrum the first day, each kid getting their 22 ounce bottle, then moving onto milk. The second day they are out to the barn and as long as their are 3 kids in their pen its onto the lambar and 3 times a day. If milk gets tight I sometimes will go to 2 times a day, right now I have only 2 infants on bottles and 4 December kids, emptying the lambar twice a day. The two bucks out of the 4 are sold, so when they leave the does left will be weaned. About 4 months of age, they are already consuming hay, browse and each are eating 1 pound of grain per day. Vicki
