    Meat production setup free for the taking near San Diego

    I just found out I will need bypass surgery as soon as possible. I have a full meat setup, rabbits, cages and miscelaneous equipment that I have to get rid of fast. I have been producing around twenty fryers per month with it and it could produce more if you push the does a bit or grow out a few...

Most are short coupled and very heavy in the saddles and loins where most of the meat is. They also have heavy hindquarters. The...

    Let's hear it for poop chutes

    Millet grass?

    Just came over from TEG. I'm raising meat rabbits again after many years so I need to brush up on what's new. I like to rest part of my garden every season by planting millet. Is it a good source for greens or should I dry it and feed it as hay?
