Years ago I thought that I would be an abundant rabbit producer. It went just fine until it came to killing and butchering time. I'll just say that I sold out of that business in less than a year.<br /><br />I do not have any problems with butchering, per say. Like chickens, pigs, cattle, deer elk, bear, but those rabbits...........<br />idahobobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857771751176894988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-79747816737849739942015-09-18T02:29:32.010-04:002015-09-18T02:29:32.010-04:00Tomorrow is D day for the table ducks, anything de...Tomorrow is D day for the table ducks, anything destined for the table I make sure the have a happy life, food water shelter and protection they live a good life and I feel better about the whole thing, when it comes to the deed its done in a calm manner with no distress to animal or human, its not a pleasant job but we need to eat and that was the reason for raising them, :-)Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05213759909336433460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-90210961951451951562015-09-17T22:17:28.077-04:002015-09-17T22:17:28.077-04:00Oh and I applaud your vegetarianism.

Goat seems to be a bit more culturally preferred by the ones who are most guilty of that type of thing than lamp. Also they never actually offer me enough to even tempt me.

Oh sure the worm/parasite battle was a ongoing battle in our humid hot weather as well.. but I would cry over selling them knowing they were going to the meat market.
