new permission

[sam3009 4]

Just got permission on some land that has the worst rabbit infestation I have seen in 20 odd years. The land owner says he takes 20 to 30 coneys per day and has done for the last 2 years, with box traps, and shooting. There is one other lad who shoots when he can, BUT they Do'nt seem to be making a dent in the population. Having walked the ground, I reckon, with the ferrets, I could take 50 rabbits in a modest shift. this is considerably more than I would take normaly, given that I only take what I need for my own purposes i.e. to feed my animals!.

I have two questions:

 

1: what is the going rate for rabbit these days? (at the butchers)

2: where can i get good quality long nets?

 

any feedback welcome

 

cheers K

It all depends on what they can sell, butchers find it hard to sell rabbit these days, the amounts your talking I agree with bigredbusa, your going to have to find someone with the demand. Expect £1 - £1.20 per head I would think. You are going to have to dress them and fridge them too, don't forget there are certain health and safety/hygene rules too when selling to the general public!

Butcher's give a good price but wont take large amount's regular game dealers will but at 30/50 pence a head and if they come to pick them up the petrol money comes out of that

Id expect around a £1 a head if selling privately but imagine a game dealer will give you much less(ie: want to make a decent profit out of them)..
