Thought this might be the best place for our rabbit farming adventures. About to dress our first four rabbits.
Looking great Adam! We're expecting a pic heavy post in the smokehouse forum within the next 24 hours. I've only had rabbit once. It was breaded in seasoned flour and fried up in some oil in a cast iron skillet...very tasty. What you gonna do with the hides?
Gnocchi tonight, already got some diced up for it. Tomorrow it's hindquarters and rabbit wings on the grill.
At first I could not understand why you hung them to skin them then I saw you were saving the hide. I always make a cut in the back and just rip the hide to the head and tail and take it off like a sock. But maybe domesticated ran bits have tougher hide than the wild eastern cottontail and it may make this hard or impossible?
Yea. At first I didnt realize you were saving g the hide. The way I do it , I destroy the hide. Bit I dont keep it...just toss it in the woods. I tear it in 2pieces
Thats awesome griz..how old ?..how much meat did ya get...with a buck an a coupla does you can have more meat than you know wat to do wit...great job...its a lotta work..but it worth it..
Mmmm... Interesting.... May have too look into this. What are you tanning the hides for? Great pictures!
