Thinking a thread like this might be good.
1. butchering three rabbits while sick, perhaps NOT a good idea.
2. sometimes when it looks like a buck originally had two testicles, but now only has one...means that somehow he lost one somewhere.... (not quite sure where). but definitely went from two to one in two weeks. Go figure.
3. you can learn that you ARE feeding the growers too much when they have tons of fat around their kidneys. Hmmm...now to figure out just how much too feed them. anyone know how much is good for harle growers?
4. BIG difference in skinning a four month old and a 5.5 month old. Wow...won't let them go that long again if i can prevent it. (at least not do them when I'm not feeling the best).
5. I broomstick. I've always faced the rabbit away from me before i do the deed. Read about a person who faced the bunny toward them and thought I'd give that a shot. I can see how it would work well for some, but I'm find that I get a better pull doing it the way that I do now, I get more separation in the neck. So that was good to learn as well.
