Hmm. You have three NZ does and a NZ buck?
Yupper i do...and i have read success stories breeding a flemish buck to a Nz doe.... aside fro a pet , i know i will breed it
I think my question would be which combo would produce the largest adult rabbits when kits are grown ?

My goal is a large rabbit with a good meat to bone ratio. I like Flemish because they are hardy and do well on fodder and forrage where the NZ have been bred for years to gain weight fast on commercial feed. I don't mind if my rabbits are a little slower growing as long as I can get them to butcher weight on cost effective food sources. I find that they even taste better when they have some variety to their diet.

One of my favorite crosses is 75% NZ / 25% Flemish. I'd get a Flemish buck and breed him to your does, then breed their daughters to your NZ buck.
