    I'm trying to see if it is a feasible idea to raise meat rabbits. I don't have any to experiment with and am hoping someone with experience can share their knowledge with me.

    cost of raising rabbits

    How much does it cost in dollars ( not time and effort) to raise one pint of boneless canned rabbit meat? (Not counting the canning equipment, and let's say your facilities are already set up and you already have breeding stock)

    Sustainable Chickens!! :O

    I haven't read all the replies so this may have already been said... Most chickens will take a break from laying in the middle of winter unless you keep lights on them. Of the replies I did read, you have been given some really good advice. For me, my goats are the best livestock because they...

    Anyone here from North Dakota?

    Is it easy to garden there? What sort of plants typically thrive? (I'm in the high desert of NM, with a very short growing season- 80 days if I'm lucky) Are there a lot of pest bugs?
