$26 for 50 lbs bag of Bar Ale yesterday.

Still no more losses since switching back to Bar Ale. Now I'm sure it was the feed. Hope this helps someone.

Been a week since switching feed. Ain't lost a rabbit since. We lost rabbits when feeding with "Producers Pride", a TSC feed.

Well, it's been a week now with no losses. Also, a week since switching from the other feed. On one hand I'm happy to have gotten things back on track. On the other hand, I'm frustrated at the losses. We were feeding Bar Ale rabbit feed. Our local grow/feed store ran out. We bought over priced...

Thank you.

Cheaper that way. Buy some proven breeders at the end of summer. Less frustrations over breeding to start. We...

Thanks O, funny that you speak of your buck and how he freezes. Most of our rabbits do the same. And I was just talking with a friend about this topic the other day.

Cook one with a cube of butter in the crock pot until falling off the bone. Then make into anything. It makes the butchering part easier.

Thanks for all the input. I'm gonna check out that video.

How many rabbits do you guys and gals butcher in a day? We got a big butcher day coming soon for us. 25 to 30 or so. It's going to be an all hands on board kinda day for the family. The kids are young but they've shown they got grit. No issues the last couple times. If you got one trick up...
