permaculture

[Rhonda Baird <rk.baird@yahoo.com>]

I looked at the list, and from my experience with raising some of these 
breeds and working with others, I will offer these thoughts: Flemish Giants 
shouldn’t be on the list. They are grisly and bony and big eaters without 
producing quality meat. Californians, Chincillas, and New Zealanders are all 
top meat producing rabbits, but they also often have nasty personalities. 
Rexes can also be rough—but usually better. Satins were the meat breed of 
choice at my house—not quite so crazy, beautiful fur to tan, and dressing out 
well. 

best,
