[Jacob-list] Weaning Age

[Gotothewhip at aol.com]

I have a pair of bottle lambs... Born 3-15-07  So they are almost 8  weeks 
now...  How soon should I concider weaning?  They are on about  18 oz replacer 
3x a day now... we hope to put them to 2x a day this week.  
 
We have 1 of the 2 that does not always finish his bottle.. and they both  
have the scours right now (but under control) 
 
They are eating hay and grain VERY well...  They are regularly in the  
creep... And between all 7 lambs in that pen.. we are going thru 2 flakes of  
alfalfa a day plus 1 large coffee can of a medicated lamb creep pellet. 
 
When I was penning them up by themselves, they were eating 1 to 2 cups of  
the creep pellets, plus nearly a half flake of alfalfa per  day.
