Commercial Rabbit Production

Before investing your money in rabbit production, get all available literature, talk and visit with other producers, visit a rabbit processor, and talk with your county Extension agent. Refer to the information sheet "Starting a Rabbit Enterprise" for additional insight of advantages and disadvantages of producing rabbits.

After deciding to go into business, find a market and good source of breeder stock. Start on a small scale, No more that 20 does and 3 bucks are recommended for the beginner. With this number you can back out with minimal losses if rabbit production is not for you.

Crossroads Rabbitry

CROSSROADS RABBITRY is a large commercial rabbitry. The production farm specializes in raising New Zealand White Rabbits. We are licensed by the USDA to raise, sell and transport rabbits. We do no do any butchering or processing. The commercial rabbitry is nestled on 100 acres in the foothills of the Cheaha and Kentuck Mountains in Heflin, Alabama. We raise New Zealand White Rabbits for meat production and research. Our breeder stock is selected for fast growth and heavy weaning weights. New Zealand White Rabbits, in our personal opinion, are just better commercial producers.
