In the matter of hay, let them have all that they will clean up. A hay rack is better for the feeding of young stock and you can keep it full at all times. Otherwise they may not have enough at times and suffer for want of what they need.
The nursing doe, if handled intelligently, will be back in pretty good condition at the end of a week's rest after weaning her stock and she may be bred again. If she has been underfed during the nursing period she will be poor and scrawny and in poor condition to breed. Breeding her when she is run down will have only one result, namely, poor offspring, youngsters that will droop and die by the wayside from no apparent cause whatever. It pays to take care of your breeding does. They are the producers in your herd.
