Good info.
300k a year for 30 hours a weeK? Holy cow how many rabbits does that end up being? Are you processing them and then selling them?
Building 48' x 200' x 8'
Dirt floor for red worms
1,000 does
100 bucks
2-300 young does
25-50 young bucks
1 doe has 5.5 litters of 8 bunnies each per year or 44 bunnies
44 bunnies @ 4.5 pounds live weight sold at $1.59/# = $314.82
$314.82 x 1000 does = $314,820 total
$14,820 will cover feed, power and any other supplies other then original pens, building and breeding stock cost.
$300,000 profit..
Rabbits are sold to processors alive..
It would take 3-4 hours per day, every day, to tend the herd.
Red worms can be seeded in the dung and are paying about $30 a pound right now.
Hundreds of pounds of red worms can be harvested after a few months.. and that income stream is on top of the $300k from the meat..
