Rabbit Meat & Portable Pens

In the event anyone is looking to let the rabbits graze I found a site that if you raise chickens you would have heard of Joel Salatin and Polyface Farms.

Here is the link to what is called a portable hare pen.

If you notice the bottom it looks like they are using furring strips or old style plaster lathe at the bottom to stop the digging. Then in the winters they house them in the Raken House (Rabbits and Chickens) with the rabbits above and the egg layers below.

Thanks for all the info. Now I have to see if I can find some place in my area that has rabbits to sell and see if I can breed some and eat and possibly sell a few on the side.

Also, is there any preferred way to process them? And is it best to split them in half or cook them whole? Any recommended recipe(s) for a beginner?

Thanks
