Is this live weight or processed? Big difference. Live weight, I am able to buy at .85 cents a pound and can sell at $1.25 lb. Processed for dogs, not human consumption I an getting $1.95 lb but that is also including the heads and organs.

Patty, I live in N.E. part of Oklahoma. I receive $1.25 per pound. I have asked for more but people will not pay more. They do not care how much work and food it takes. So I leave my price at what sells. Check your local stores and see if they are selling rabbit and at what price. It totaly depends on the area. GOOD LUCK! Rodger

4.25 a pound is hanging weight.
