[QUOTE="CopperBeech, post: 8023043, member: 8925"] There is your problem then. We start on warm for first couple feeds, then cold and wean hard at five weeks on the dot. If they go older than that they start blowing up at a rate of knots and it’s a waste of money. If they are eating creep well, straight off cold milk at five weeks onto just creep and straw and they do fine and end up paying ok money. We have three pens - little uns, middle pen is cold milk abs straw and creep and third pen is straw and creep. Keep them moving up and now only lose the odd one. [/QUOTE]
