Our litter of Cal-Zil crosses and our mini-lop cross buck are headed to freezer camp in a few minutes. DH's former co-worker is buying them for meat. Price: one butchered rabbit for our freezer.
Since these were being socialized for pets, I just don't think I could dispatch them myself. Don't think I'm going to try to raise for the pet market again. From now on, any rabbits not purebred or designated for show will be handled as livestock.
That will bring us down to our 9 breeders (3 Cals, 5 Zils, 1 Rex) plus four Cal intermediates. If I can't get those four sold by spring, they'll go to freezer camp as well. I want to be down to just breeders by the time we move next May.
