Meat rabbits

One New Zealand, 3 New Zealand/california crosses and then 2 kits who are 2nd gen New Zealand/California crosses.

Oh, haha. I used to have a New Zealand, but she was a pet. I've hear they make a nice stew though...

Yup. I haven't had rabbit in years. These are the first rabbits we've had since I was little.

Aw I could tell she was young. She hasn't quite grown into her ears yet.

Can I ask how you butcher them? I've always hear a good knock behind the ears, but feel like there has to be a more full-proof method?

I havent butchered one yet

I was too little the last time we butchered rabbits, my dad did it and I don't remember how.

Go to amazon.com and get one of Bob Bennett's books on rabbits. I have Storey's Guide to Raising Rabbits. It is a good all around book and it tells exactly how to butcher rabbits. Even shows how to make a simple portable abbatoir (processing station).
