New Zealands Whites; California Whites; American Chinchilla. There are a few other meat breads as well, but I’m not familiar with them; and the first two are the most common.
Main things for good eating is to use them around 6-9 weeks old for good tenderness; and to never forget that they need to be treated like any other animal for the table: good hygeine, good health, good nutrition; quick kill while it’s calm; good hygeine, good bleeding; quick cooling; good hygeine; proper preparation.
The manure is great for the garden, as it can be used any time it’s needed, because it is ‘low heat’ and won’t burn the plants, even when fresh.
Hard to find in stores in most areas, as they have been ‘petified’; and many breeders do not want to sell to us carnivores, even if they have meat breeds.
As for us, we just have 2 does and a buck to produce just for us and a couple of close friends who like the occassional friwed rabbit...or hassenpfeffer. (essentially a German ‘rabbit sauerbratten’ dish)
Thank you very much. I have begun my research.... I think I’m going to do this.
