Hey, my boyfriend and I are starting to look into breeding. I have a 3 year old female butter who is 1345 grams this year, so I am hoping she will be up to a good weight by 2019 season. Current plan is to try to produce BELs with her, and then in a couple years also breed my younger het pied girl to a visual pied to produce piebalds.

My question is, how many babies on average do you guys produce in a season, and how many of those do you sell? We are starting small but we want an idea of the scope that we can scale up to in future years. Ultimately, I would like this hobby to at least break even if not make a little bit of side money.
