difference between meat rabbits

[Bossroo]

Keeping NZ or Cal s is the only way to go to raise rabbits most economically for a tasty meal. If one has a larger family... one can have one nice meal from one carcass. If one has only oneself or plus a spouse... one can enjoy a second or a third meal from leftovers without having to fire up the stove/ oven/ crockpot wich saves tons of time and energy (fuel).

We've got 5 kids here too - I really can't see one rabbit feeding all of us...but we'll see in a few months (we're getting Silver Foxes). Shoot, one chicken barely feeds my kids. Plus, we need leftovers for hubby's lunch.

We butchered a SF that weighed a tad under 5 pounds but the finished product was a little over 3 pounds, they are fantastic.

I think you may find that rabbit is a denser meat and it seems that people require less of it.
I can eat an 8 oz ribeye but cant eat more then 4-4.5 oz of rabbit. Its a stay with you kind of food that doesnt feel heavy.

I wonder why that is....so is it more like how a beef roast will filly you, but you could eat a whole chicken? (or at least, I could!).
