Subject: [Homesteadingfamily] Re: butchered rabbits
Here in Sonora, CA (rural Sierra Nevada area) they run $8/lb for rabbit meat- we personally have a couple New Zealand Reds (meat rabbit). From what I understand in general New Zealands, Californians and Silver Foxes are considered the best meat breeds (fast time to reach butchering weight and good amount of meat for size). Flemish Giants take much longer to reach butchering weight (more you have to feed them) and they aren't considered a good meat rabbit for a couple reasons. That being said- obviously they are made of meat and can be eaten if desired. :)
