Hi All,
Well, it's the first butchering day of the summer for me today. I'm not really looking forward to it, but I've only got 3 to do.
It's really just a warmup for things to come. We don't breed until spring to lessen the chores over the winter. The next round of butchering will be 14 in a couple of weeks and then another 7 after that. Then I suppose we'll have 4 more litters later this summer for a total of around 50 for the year.
This is only the 2nd yr. for us raising rabbits. They're Californias and gestation is 30 days. We clean em at about 11 weeks. We really like the meat but I'm trying to come up with a way to grill em without drying it out so much. I'm up for suggestions.
Is anybody else raising rabbits for the freezer?
Kevin
