Gee, thanks for reminding me that I have 6 bunnies, and a half dozen broilers to butcher this week.

Couple of more weeks, and it’ll be a half dozen fryers to do.

Two-three weeks later, the other 6 “broilers” will be roasters.

I live young rooster to a neighbor who needs a new one, and that’ll leave 4 or 5 layers for the two of us

A couple weeks or so after that, more bunnies for the freezer...and then deer & turkey season.

Two cows sounds like about twice as much twice a day milking than I want to even contemplate, let alone have to do; but pigs is good...REALLY good.

I have no other job (V.A. disability so I have the time to milk two cows 2x per day and process the milk/cream into different dairy products.

The rabbits are tasty, aren’t they?

What breed of rabbit do you recommend for the table?

I ate rabbit a few times when I was a kid and I seriously didn’t like them. I might be willing to try them again.
