Joel Salatin Rabbit Tractor!

Do you raise for meat or manure, or just to keep the grass nice and cropped? I raise rabbits for manure in the compost which in turn goes into my raised beds and small orchard.

Nice bun :-)

One of my best friends was Salatin's first intern at Polyface. check out their website at [link to www.healthyhenfarms.com.]

AWESOME. I wish I could have gone! Those guys work hard!

I use them for meat, sell to others, and the manure is a nice by-product. I pasture them to keep costs low. More then costs though I think they are just happier out here in the grass. They don't seem very happy in the cages. Wish I could afford to build more. As of now I rotate the rabbits through.

I got out of rabbits cause I didnt like raising them on wire, and didnt have the property to pasture them. I'm looking into the possibility of warrening them like what they did in the medieval ages.
