    Pre-Breeding Season Feeding

    I'm just wondering about the opinions of others on what they feed their girls in getting ready for next season. I have 3 girls for next season (my first) one is proven (but wasn't bred this season) @ 2300g (she was 2000 when I purchased her on the first & I've been feeding her between 10%+15% of her weight each week). And I have 2 virgins at 2050 & 2250. 15% seems excessive to me. So what do you guys do to prep the girls' fat stores for egg production?

    Also, the male I want to use most is 350g (was picky until I switched him to live) and I feed him 2x a week one meal @ 15% & one @ 8-10%. He is around a year old w/ immature plugs. He should be ready by November, right? Will this develop sufficient stores for him?

    Thanks!
