Californian Meat Rabbits
This breed boasts a compact and muscular build, ideal for meat production. Their short, powerful back legs and rounded backs allow for efficient movement and weight gain. Additionally, their small front feet and short necks minimize waste during processing. Topped off with muscular faces, bright eyes ranging from pink to ruby red, and an overall alert expression, these rabbits exude a healthy and vigorous presence.
Californian rabbits are specifically chosen for their exceptional meat production qualities. Unlike pet rabbits, Californians are bred for size, rapid growth, and docile temperaments. This allows them to thrive in breeding programs. They excel at converting feed into delicious, lean meat with a high meat-to-bone ratio, all within a short timeframe. Californian does are also known for their excellent mothering instincts, consistently raising large litters of eight or more healthy kits.
