Raising Meat Rabbits 101

Raising Meat Rabbits 101: Meat rabbits are an increasingly popular meat source for small acreage farms and urban homesteaders. Learn the basics of selection, housing, handling, and care of meat rabbits! Jacob Hadfield, Agriculture Extension Faculty: Jacob Hadfield grew up in Utah County on a small beef operation and has loved agriculture his whole life. He received his B.S. and M.S degrees in Animal Nutrition from Utah State University and is now the Agriculture Extension Faculty in Cache County.

Once can be a bit skeptical about this video when Jacob Hadfield says he's not a big rabbit eater, but I think rabbits are a wonderful, healthy, relatively cheap source of meat that many people can raise. I read a book about rabbit farming last summer when I was up at camp. Interesting stuff.
