Good Morning , getting colder here , temps dropping to the minus's , daytime temps still good , a lot of sun and finally no more rain . Piggy's are gaining weight so we'll see what they look like in December , might just butcher them all , less hassle ? Butchered my four white turkeys ...43 KG or 95lbs so a lot of meat , but costly to raise and process so doubtful that I'll do that again . But getting ready for the cold to come , firewood is home for the most part , should be good to go there , got about three to four cords to cut up on the mill for timbers so there will be slabs coming yet .
But I think so far, when we process the rest of these, well have had 13 bunnies, with a mean processed weight of about 3-3½ lbs (with bones), totaling about 45 lbs of meat + bones from two litters. The bunny pen was about 400 I think, and if I were to venture a guess on feed, I'd say we've sunk about 100 euros in their feed. Actually less because we've gotten some of the stuff for free, but that's an okay guestimate. We're gonna have two more litters this year, as the plan is looking, so I'd say we'll have of had broken even by the end of the year comparing to store bought (20 euros per bunny). That would mean the bunnies are going to start actually making fiscal sense sometime next summer, right around the time I'd say the chicken coop will start to break even.
