Is there anyone in Oklahoma that buys meat rabbits by the truck load?
If so what’s the lease amount they will buy at a time?
an how big do they have to be?
an what it would be per rabbit/pound?
Thanks to everyone in advance

Cull buyers around here will buy for $1-$1.50 per pound. At that rate it makes more sense for my family to butcher and eat. But I do take some of our smaller breeds that don't sell or one that we just can't eat, to someone who makes natural dog food. I do take them to her, but she is only about 20 miles away.

Have you tried listing them on Craigslist list or Hoobly classifieds ? I have good success on those two sites :thumbsup
We have done that and sometimes we sale out faster then we can breed. Then other times we are sitting on them for a while. And our freeze is full I can’t fit any more in it.

Check with ARBA - American Rabbit Breeders Association. They used to list commercial rabbit buyers by state. Some commercial buyers have a route where they will come pick up, others you deliver.
