Quick question on which kits to keep

[alforddm]

I'm trying to cull down my first litters by my rex buck. I want to keep at least two does. I've narrowed it down to 4. Which would you keep?

A long narrow rabbit that has been the heaviest of all the kits or a thicker type doe that has weighed less (ie overall smaller but thick).

I'm not keeping for rex body type just meaty rabbits.

Meatiest kit

Best growth but meaty.
I don't mind long if a rabbit is wide too. Long and narrow suggests mostly bone to me.

If you can't decide from the growth or type or health, go with color or temper.

Thanks to both of you for the replies.

Thank you for this! I had been planning on keeping this particular young doe as she was the heaviest at all the weigh ins. However, there has been something bugging me about her recently and I just couldn't put my finger on what it was. I think you nailed it for me!
