Rake aboot 4,929 Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 For it to work he`ll have to raise them for virtually nothing. Wholesale he will be lucky to see £1.50 to £2 from big buyers as they will use Chinese farmed if the cannot get them cheap enough. The market for rabbit is really the local small butcher hanging them in the skin at a fiver each. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neil cooney 10,415 Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 I'll make a prediction. He'll try and make a few pounds on the novelty thing while replacing stock out of his own pocket and the business wont see year number two. To rub it in his face I'd call in and leave him my number for fox control. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

beast 1,884 Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 i did a rabbit clearance job for a woman a few years ago who was going to set up a rabbit farm, the whole thing was about finding a way to get planning for her daughter to build a house on her land. they just had to produce a business plan which if i recollect right, projected an annual income of something like £13 000 and as the land was already farmland they then just had to put up a few hutches and bobs your uncle. big scam.

charlie caller 3,654 Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 He would make more money, if he could get a large mixy free population going over a large area, and letting it out to the airgun lads for a days sport, charge em for a shoot, then a nominal fee for each bunny bagged, I bet there would be plenty of takers, from lads with little or no land Quote Link to post Share on other sites
