Is Bigger Always Better - 12/18/19 01:20 PM
Thinking of consolidating 3 penned feeder locations into 2 larger, more centralized ones for next season and was wondering what are known benefits to having larger pens? My current pens are on the smaller side, probably 5-6 panels and hoping to double those in size. Currently not uncommon to have 2-4 doe in the pens at one time and 1-2 bucks. With larger pens should I expect more does potentially in at any given time, bucks? I will run a combination of spin fed corn and on demand gravity protein feeders. What has been the direct experience of the THF when switching from smaller to larger feeder pens??
