how much to sell live meat rabbits for?

[miss_thenorth]

I \\usually sell for $15 dressed, but guy wants to know how much for a live one per pound.

What do you think? Average weight live is 10#

Most meat buyers will pay up to a $1 a pound. The ones I have dealt with are the runners for rabbit slaughter houses. They pay what the company tells them to pay. Hope that helps.

You get $15 out of our dressed ones? Lucky you. I am lucky to get $5 out of mine.

Yeah, that's what I ended up telling him--I did some figuring, and $1/lb sounded reasonable, after the amount of feed etc and work I put into them.
