Reply to: Do you raise rabbits for meat? Let’s hear your rabbit-raising tips! Posted April 1, 2021

The wife and I process about 1.5 tons of dressedrabbit meat per year. We sell it to resturants in 20 lb cases, about 6, sometimes 7 bunnies. Rabbits very good for preppers. They eat stuff we can’t (same as goats) so don’t complete on the homestead for grains. Very easy to raise, easy to process, much easier than chickens. Best feed to weight ratio of any farmed animal, about 4:1. Any questions, let me know, going out to cut about a dozen right now.
