So for outsourcing my stock I look for a few things:
- weight
-the parents temperament
- physical features that show health
- and litter size
Does everyone else ensure that the stock you are buying come from a good size litter of 8 or more?
There are 2 thoughts as far as I'm aware on this matter
1. that it doesn't matter as the litter size you'll be bringing in to your stock is in the genes anyway regardless of the exact litter size the rabbit came from
2. that the litter size it came from is a clear indication of litter sizes you can expect
Obviously culling is needed, but answering this question may reduce the amount of culling needed to get great meat rabbit stock.
