Culling To Increase Production

Hello and Welcome to Why Farm Meat Rabbits:

I believe very strongly that you need to cull out all the bad habits, That can creep into your Rabbit breeding operations,It is a fact that rabbits don't make profitable breeders.

Some just do not have the ability to produce, the numbers of bunnies and grow them out to meat sizes.So Why Farm Meat Rabbits:
There can be many causes for this, Like to much inbreeding, no ability to have enough milk, for young bunnies, only two or three teats for kits to suckle, lack of stamina, for the little bunnies to live,only able to have 2 or 4, kits, and a boost of other reasons.
The following is just a rule of thumb we use to cull at our Rabbit Farm.

So after looking at all the problems, i ask you again Why Farm Meat Rabbits;The Reason we cull the males called Bucks; That Buck, that sits over in the corner with no interest in the female or Doe as she is called, when taken to him. For Breeding.
Also the Buck that becomes to aggressive with the Doe when she is put into his cage to breed her, he bites her, and hurts her, a pattern of small litters, 2 to 6, kits are born each breeding.

The kits produced, from breeding do not come up to the standards you breed for; After the second look at physical make up of body traits you decide the buck should have never been chosen for a breeder in the first place.So until next couple of days when we will talk a bit about why not to breed with a rabbit because he looks pretty what you might find out so till then ask yourself Why Farm Meat Rabbits cya:

Rabbit-Meat-Recipes

As we are into breeding Meat Rabbits for eating and cooking beautiful Recipes, and help for those who have high Blood Pressures.
Myself I have had a few problems in my life with these types of medical ailments, and when I started breeding Rabbits, and we started to have one or two per week to eat, and finding them better than the Wild rabbit out on farms from out of Burrows, A friend told me she used to cook them for her very Sick husband.
Because he had high blood pressure, Diabetes, also a bad heart. And when her Doctor told her to feed the old guy cooked Fresh Rabbits.
She said they went to the market, and found from a guy there that old Joe down the road bred meat Rabbits, /So they went and saw what he had.
And he sold them a couple of breeding Doe's and a Male Buck, and gave them Instructions on how to breed them, and feed them and all the benefits, they would get from them not only to be able to breed young for the Table but also their Fertilizer, for the Garden and their Pelts for clothing and odd novelties.
So then after about 4 months they had their first two Litter's in the cages; and from about 12 weeks old they had their first cooked fresh meat from their own Caged Rabbits.
Now me not being in Flavor, of having them Caged, I sought out a new way of breeding them in more natural, kind of a way.
I built long runs about 150 Meters long and about 8 feet wide, with a sliding fence inside the run, and every couple of Days I would move the inside fence about 4 meters along inside the run to give them fresh grass and herbs.
I grew the herbs, of all kinds along with the grass, and they grew quite fast also they had a real Herbie type of taste when cooked.
Also in the Run I had shelter for them to go inside at night, with a type of slate floors with a crack about 1/2 an Inch between as so as all their Fertilizer dropped through onto a Tray, for easy gathering, and this was pulverized, for the Garden.
Also I had the tray slopping towards, the back of the Cage, to catch all the Rabbit Wee, also for mixing with water, @ 2liters of Rabbit Wee to 25 liters of water for all your pot plants, and flowers, and it won't burn them if you mix it at this Quantity.
Ok so until next post Keep Growing those Rabbits and saving those Berries for fertilizer, and the Wee for a beautiful Garden and I'll be back tomorrow God Willing. cya Have a Bonza Day
