Just curious why do you charge more for bucks than for does? I have meat rabbits that I sell. My does are always in so much more demand than my bucks and I have seen that most people charge more for does for that reason.
I have a pedigreed champagne buck and would love to get a champagne doe (too bad you aren't in my area). I was just wondering if there was a reason champagne bucks cost more than does.

I believe that a buck is more important to a herd than any single doe. The genetics of a herd buck is spread throughout the whole herd. I don't keep very many of the bucks that are born into my herd. If they are not something I would keep myself they are sold at the sale barn. I linebreed so the buck is a very important part of my breeding program. The doe is also very important but the role of the buck, to me, is key. Also with a buck you breed to several does and get to see the results of the breeding over a range of different bloodlines faster than with a single doe. Now my pricing for "proven" does is higher. One that consistantly produces good young and is a good mother is worth her cost. But, breed her to a low quality buck and all bets are off. My "hobby" is showing rabbits. Even if one is just raising for meat production I belive the reasons I've given are still true. Sorry, I tend to ramble on.
