border lad 1,047 Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I was out the other day, and the dog, picked up a young one about 5 weeks old, now the farmer, he didnt cut his Maize, corn, untill, 2nd week of december, so maybe possible, with the good feeding of the corn, and other grass that was growing, with the protection of the corn crop,the Rabbits were in top condition, and the youngsters were born in that hard frost and snow,even the youngster, was in good condition,and about 2 miles away there was an outbreak of Mixie, in October, last,year, but these rabbits were in good condition, Quote Link to post
