Just a thought... we had trouble with two buck rabbits that we thought was sterile, but reading in a rabbit breeding guide from county co-op extension I realized that we had the bucks too close to the does. After we moved them away from the does they no longer were shooting blanks. Sometimes this makes a difference, other times it doesn't but if you have a great looking buck and want to use him for breeding, try moving him first before you stew him (although rabbit stew is darned good).

WOW! I love your set up and your son is so cute. He was back there eating greens. My kids would never eat greens at that age!

Don't you wonder how Gauronline has lived the past 40 years without meat... without protein???

@Uberman30001 I think it would be expensive to start up self sufficiency, buy once it gets going you will save a lot of money.

@N8mont4 I make no money right now, the wife is an RN so we ain't rich. I am going to school full time, (debt free) I graduate in May 2012 and hope to make a bit of money. You must do this smart to get ahead, for instance the calves in this video cost me $100 for 3, I sold one to my neighbor for $100. When I butchered the remaining 2 I got 1100 lbs of beef. I grow most of the animals feed, because if you save money buying human food and spend it on animal feed you have gotten nowhere.

@Metal8Lover I am doing something other than a garden, I am doing permaculture. Permaculture applies to all things not only food production, it is systems feeding systems. I do-do work but study nature to work with nature instead of against her. I think some would be surprised as to the amount of work I don't put into this. I am going to school full time so don't have a lot of extra time.

@TheBgcheez I only have 1.1 acres you can even do this on a small city lot or patio/balcony. Check out Geoff Lawton's New video on permaculture in small city lots.

@henchman99942 Good info. I have raised batches of rabbits in hare tractors from weaning to butcher on my field, with no commercial feed. My field isn't very flat so I have at times been out chasing rabbits. I will try Joel Salatin's slats on the bottom and see how that works.

Great to see the calves and goates... we have Jersey cows after having goats and sheep for a few years, we now prefer the cows. Like the chat between you two mikes :)
