First rabbit harvest of the season in the rabbit colony cannabis garden. A small one at just over two and a half pounds. Rabbits are quick and easy to process and they turn just about any vegetation into meat. Much easier to be self sufficient with than broiler chickens in my opinion.
We save the pelts of these silver fox rabbits, waiting to find time to make something with them. The fur is so soft and delicate. We have traded them with other homesteaders in the past but for now we store them up in the freezer until we need space. Then we pickle them to preserve them and store them in a big bin.
The dog gets the heads and guts. Such a nutritious meal and saves us on dog food too. She has also developed a taste for rabbit which is helpful because now she really likes hunting wild rabbits. This protects our gardens and fruit trees from the little nibblers.
