I love that I bought the harvesting kit. Only thing is if you have larger grow outs it's hard to get their head in the hopper popper. But I got the hang of it, 7 large grow outs done and next week 20 more to do. Thank you souch Bobbie for your time and efforts of showing how to process a rabbit Thank you for sharing. Till next time God Bless.
You’re very welcome. Yes you’re absolutely correct.
Breaking the neck on rabbits, older than 12 weeks much more difficult due to the thick neck bone. Roaster rabbits, I would recommend broomstick method w/ 2-hands or even a pellet to the brain.
When used under 12 weeks, it’s a night a day difference. This rabbit was 11 weeks old in the video which only required one hand, holding the ears and head in the harvesting tool, and the other hand holding onto the Hocks-This keeps them firmly in place and makes for a quick and easy dislocation. Thanks for commenting!
Thank you! After coming back over and over to your videos, I paid for the full course!! We have 2 does and 1 buck that need to grow and 1 buck ready to “go”! From Manitoba, Canada! 🐇💚😺
Thanks for your support. Please email and reach out if you need anything. Best of luck moving forward with your Rabbitry!
"And then we go get the next rabbit" is where I stopped after processing my first rabbit. It went really well too, exactly as planned, dispatching was just a lot harder emotionally than I anticipated andbive been avoiding processing more 😅
I empathize with your perspective, which is why I offer insights and advice to support your journey towards contentment and prioritizing your family’s well-being, including advocating for chemical-free meat. When it comes to raising livestock, there’s inevitably a shift from the care you’ve invested in them to their eventual harvest. It’s challenging, especially considering the strong bond we typically have with our pets, and the contrast between small-scale farming and large corporations underscores this disparity.
The belly flap is great for bunny bacon or rabbit jerky.
thanks for sharing! I haven’t made rabbit jerky before.
Definitely the best processing video - so helpful. Thank you!
i’m so glad you enjoyed it!
It’s a lot longer process for me 😂 I’m the sloth version. But I’ve only had one batch experience, will get more practice in about a month. Thanks for all the tips.
Thanks for watching, It’s best to take your time. No sense in trying to race through it and have an accident.
Thank you for showing the gall bladder. I had a chicken liver that the bile ruined.
You’re very welcome. Thanks for watching.
Thank you.I'm gonna have to try some of those tips. I'm always nervous. I'm gonna cut the meat up. And I have the same scratches.
you can always spot a Rabbit owner by the scratches on their hands and arms. Thanks for watching and Best of luck with your processing!
Another great video!
Thanks so much for watching!
The best part was when you popped that beer open. ...Cheers ! 🍷
cheers! Hey, Any thing to help you relax.
I want a filet knife like that. It is so sharp. :)

Thank you

Is there a bad smell when you butcher?
No bad smell present.
It’s not stinky like field dressing a deer
What do you do with the feet?
thanks for asking here’s a video that shares how we make lucky rabbits feet ruclips.net/video/gBs5MmeuOns/видео.htmlfeature=shared
I am getting some Tamuk rabbits in a couple of weeks. My husband doesn’t think this is worth it. One concern is we have never processed an animal we raised. I want to raise rabbits for meat and maybe to sell a few. I am getting a trio. Any advice as we get started?
rabbits are hands-down, my favorite livestock animal they’re quiet they don’t take a lot of space and they produce five times more meat than a cow when fed the same amount they’re incredibly cute and provide you high-quality fertilizer for your garden plants, hedges trees, etc. unless you research all the chemicals used in the food you buy in the stores it’s easy to take it for granted -people are willing to eat this food out of convenience even though diseases and sickness are on the rise. E. coli, salmonella, listeria just to name a few.
Your first processing day is the hardest you have to remind yourself they’re not pets, they’re livestock. Even though you’ve watched them grow and enjoyed every day, You have to have the right mindset remind yourself that’s why they’re here because they were raised to process just like tearing vegetables from the garden. You process your rabbits at the appropriate time.

Why don’t you keep the fur? Seems like you could do something with it or sell it.
These are fryer rabbits, and have very thin skin, which doesn’t make for very good hides but if you want to grow your rabbits out and would like to entertain that option, here’s a video to help you

We have done chickens before. Rabbits are much easier. Soak in refrigerator in salt water a day or so before freezing or cooking perhaps or does it even matter
Here’s a video we did to help folks age their rabbit meat ruclips.net/video/_WKefuf9dUg/видео.htmlfeature=shared
You do have to rest the meat
Why do you keep the feet?
Lucky rabbits feet is a popular byproduct (2) for $5.00 or better

did my 1st 3 a wk ag0.
😉🤙
rabbit liver is my new fav0rite liver.
It’s pretty tasty. I fried one last night with some kidneys and rabbit tenderloins.
@@TheRabbitryCenter s0unds D lish!
🙂
The flanks might be my favorite part of the rabbit. It makes excellent bacon or jerky in the air fryer. It seems a waste to throw it away like that. Great video otherwise. You do knock this out rather quickly.
Thanks for watching. I’m interested, how do you prepare and cook it in the air fryer? I’d like to find a use for it. I wish it was like pork belly. Unfortunately I don’t like the texture at all. After trying it several different ways and even frying it in small pieces It’s still pretty chewy to eat.
We make a lot of jerky out of our venison which is delicious but we don’t use deer flank.
I’ll have to try turning it into jerky but hoping for a less fatty/chewy
@@TheRabbitryCenter For the bacon we cut it into strips going long-ways (each flank should give you about 4 strips at about 3/4" wide but you can do wider or thinner) and marinate it in a bag or container with syrup and soy sauce (we have small kids who prefer the sweet and salty mix, but you can add some different spices/flavors for preference) for at least 12 hours prior to cooking. If you have an air fryer with racks, let some of the marinade drip off and place the strips on an oiled rack a little higher than halfway up in the air fryer, turn it to 400 for 7 minutes, then flip and do another 7 minutes. It should have a slight char and the chewiness becomes more crunchy. It's not pork belly bacon and it takes about 4 flanks to feed 4 with eggs and toast, but it is tasty and we enjoy it.
We just made jerky out of it for the first time to take on a road trip last week. For the jerky our air fryer also has a dehydration mode and we made a jerky marinade from salt, brown sugar and teriyaki sauce. Teriyaki wasn't my first pick, but we had some in the fridge. We cut the strips a little wider than the bacon since we knew it would shrink some. We cut up I think 4 flanks and got about 16-20 pieces of jerky.
I will try to get the marinade recipes from my wife as she makes the marinades and reply with them for you.
@@cashcash8365 That’s great information, I’ll have to try it. Thanks for taking the time to write your instructions!
@@TheRabbitryCenter No problem at all. Thank you for creating the channel and making all of the very informative videos. Your channel is one of the ones we follow pretty closely so we can try to learn and improve our rabbitry. You help many people and keep up the good work.
@@cashcash8365 that means a lot thank you
Its all technically chemical free meat.
Feel free to expand on your answer.
@@TheRabbitryCenter I work in the meat industry I can expand anyway you want to, if somebody comes with antibiotics then they need to learn why there is withdraw times for, and any farm not using antibiotics for sick in my opinion don't need to have animals. There is no such thing as growth hormones, well if there is they are illegal in the United States of America. Can't say what is sprayed on fields because that does not make it to the feed not even trace amounts, where as I do not agree with using any chemicals on crops because of the ecosystem is destroys, and if people say chemical on corn and other crops then wild meat is not chemical free either if using that logic. I am a full time pig farmer, work part time in dairy. I agree people should be raising their own meat because a lot of what they buy is not even from the United States anyhow, but it is still chemical free.
@@TheRabbitryCenter I also love your cage system and can't wait to build one minus the tote and run system.
Thanks for sharing you might enjoy this video ruclips.net/video/D9mWuQh3UxA/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Thanks so much for sharing!
Hi, thanks for your videos. You did a video on 5 best meat rabbit's. I'm trying to decide what is best for me. I live in Sicily. Summers are very hot. My question, what are youŕ thoughts on the Tamuk ? And do you ship rabbit's? Thanks.
Thanks for asking, Our rabbits are pick up only. Tamuk rabbits were bred specifically for heat tolerance and meat production which would be ideal for you. Best of luck with your production.
you may enjoy this video ruclips.net/video/Impl9ribyHM/видео.htmlfeature=shared
@@TheRabbitryCenter thanks alot. Watched that video, thanks again. Is there a possibility that you could point me towards a breeder that does ship rabbit's. God bless. I enjoy your videos. I'm 71 and want to raise good no chemical animals.
We live in Georgia, USA. Our Tamuks do well in the heat. We built our hutches in the shade and give them plenty of water and ice bottles
