They are all over the place now! They are just growing like weeds and mom is dreaming of weaning day!

That is a nice litter, they are like a bouquet of flowers, all different colors! She is a good mom, her daughters should be good moms too.

The blue one and the black one appear to be does, and they are the biggest, spunkiest ones in the litter. I think I'm going to keep both of them. :)

I'm also planning on reserving the red buck out of Posey's litter... I've named him Opie.

I'll probably want to keep a doe from Hosta's upcoming litter too... I better get to work finishing the new hutches!

Rabbits are a good farm animal. They are small, don't take much room, make no noise (good for backyard farms) make good fertilizer and give lots of meat. Have you ground the meat for chili or made sausage?

I need to get a meat grinder still, so not yet. It is on my "soon to do" list though.

I have a small grinder I bought 30 years ago for $60. It still works and makes the rounds in the neighborhood, I loan it out to others that don't have one. You can use just rabbit meat for chili, but for sausage you have to add fat. Beef fat is best, ask for it at a custom slaughter place or at the grocery store. Making your own pan sausage is a great feeling. It makes good lasagna too.
