I tell you what I was so happy today!
4 gentlemen came over and wanted to buy some rabbits, like normal, I offer a discount to buyers that want to butcher their rabbits. 50% off the sale if they give me a usable hide and livers ( I'm preparing to make blankets and clothing out of my skins) they agreed.
But one guy can't send me the hide because he lives so far away so he asked if it was possible to butcher them now. I said yes though I was already trying to think up how much to charge a butchering fee. So I got the equipment and started to cull the 4 rabbits they got and right away they started to butcher the rabbits themselves. I was a little shocked and asked "you obviously have done this before" and they said that they butcher sheep for a living and rabbits are very similar just on a smaller scale.
in the end I just butchered the one large rabbit just to make myself feel useful and the guys took care of everything else. I got the hides and livers, dogs got the guts, the experienced buyers payed me and left with a promise to come again.
It felt so good to not have to do all those rabbits as fast as I could with the buyer looking over my shoulder!
have you guys had any experience with really good buyers that just left you really happy?
