Be sure to fry them long and hot with plenty of hog lard; else, you will die from one of those rabbit diseases that you can't even pronounce. I have never tried it; but, the Walmart over in the next county has rabbit meat in the meat department. A couple years ago, I was standing in the loading dock of the local feed-mill, the one my grandfather built during the Korean War, and a very long dual-tandem flatbed gooseneck went by going East on KY80 with untelling how many head of great big white rabbits in coops that looked just like those old-timey chicken coops, the ones with the wood dowel sides. The coops were stacked four deep and as long and as wide as the trailer would allow; and, the rabbits were crammed in the coops pretty tight.

Kind of a surprise that commercial rabbit raising has never become a thing. I have heard rummers of a number of attempts over the years, none ever survived. As kid in 4H I raised some rabbits. Get a litter maybe 2 fattened up butcher them. Take to town to a independent butcher shop in a old time grocery store. One of those all cash businesses. The butcher would let people that might be interested know he had rabbits, until he had run out.Then one afternoon we got home, rabbit cages ripped up all rabbits dead. Dog tracks all over. Never really sure where the dogs came from, but ended my rabbit business. Sorry if I took this off track Buck. I want to thank you for doing your best to keep new topics coming here.

My cousins, Hoss and Little Joe, got into the commercial rabbit business big time and were doing really well until it came time to slaughter them and they just couldn't do it; the rabbits just kept eating and multiplying; Uncle Ben was about to have two spasms and a hemorrhage over the cost of feeding all those rabbits. As best I remember, they took the rabbits into town and traded them for an old retired Circus Elephant, "Sheba" if my memory serves.
