do these look like ok meat rabbits

[tortoise]

what age do people think is best for processing

A balance of live weight and cost of feed. At some point the rabbit stops putting on weight (when it is fully grown). Sometime at or before that point is time to butcher. Different breeds will have different age for butchering. My breed grows slower than the ture meat breeds, so mine grow twice as long. (Plus mine are worth more alive than dead, so as long as sales are good, I don't butcher.)

I just wanted to throw out there a question that some of you might be able to answer.....Is it true that cross bred rabbits produce a tougher meat than purebreeds?

I raise NewZealands and possibly looking to add Cali's

When I cook them it is usually slow cook for 2hrs...but I also sell to butchers so I dont want to compromise my quality...

Thanks
