Bought new a year ago and just haven't used them much. And I have cut back on the number of angoras I have so I don't see these getting as much use as I had hoped. They work awesome! I will not be including the blades so you will need to purchase those. I paid $350 plus over $20 for...
Mine do really well on shavings and straw actually. I blow them out 3-4 times a week. The stains and morning dew is my big concern. I think what we will do is have indoor space and outdoor space. I'll just let them have outdoor time on occasion and when they have recently been trimmed down. Oh...
Right now mine are on cement floors with shavings/straw as bedding inside the barn. I am finding it very doable for us. But the thought of them on pasture is different. We would have many pens that they can rotate through and the goal would be not to allow them to complelety graze the pen down...
I have 13 angoras, mostly French and a couple German/English. 9 are does and are spilt into 2 colonies which is inside our barn. The 4 bucks are in wire cages. I also have American chinchillas which are used only for meat purposes. Our angoras are only for fiber purposes. Of course both are also...
Yikes! Thanks for the heads up! I knew I should have ordered back in December! Oh well, I'm a pretty patient person, thankfully! I appreciate you letting me know though! Hope yours comes really soon :)
We aren't too handy so making something similar would worry me. I wish we could have bought the bolt gun but yeah, I didn't want to spend that kind of money!
Thanks! During a search on this forum I think it was your videos I watched. It was videos demonstrating on older rabbits. Was that you? I was pretty impressed with how quick and humane it went for the rabbit. I can imagine it being even smoother for a younger rabbit and I'm relieved to know it...
LOL! Thanks for sharing! You almost have me convinced to give it a try! Maybe the smell of it cooking will give me the final push ;) I really would be ok with introducing meat back in my diet so long as I still felt good(or better!). Gosh, it's hard to cook 2 seperate meals every night. I'll be...
Thanks! I am not one to push my beliefs on anyone. I'm mostly vegan because I simply don't like meat and the way it makes me feel. I don't eat fake meats either and I never miss or crave meats. For me, I feel better as a vegan. I have more energy. But like my hubby, he needs meat in his diet and...
Just ordered!! Says 4-6 week before shipping. I've been watching a lot of videos and reading as much as I can find on how to properly use the wringer. I actually got the rabbit poultry combo as we are also raising chickens and ducks. I have never butchered anything in my life. In high school...
Where at in Ohio are you, if you don't mind me asking. We have family in northwest ohio(Findlay) that we visit often. We may be going down next month.
