Are any of you from the WI,MN,IA or IL? I'm thinking about raising rabbit for barf diets but, I know there is mid-west buyers group that gets chicken backs and necks dirt cheap. I also know there are lots of folks that are anti-computer too that like reptiles. Any thoughts or opinions?

Answers

most barf people want to add variety to their animals diets. Just because they are buying chickens at such and such a price doesnt mean they expect the same for rabbits. Contac the buyers group and see if they have an intrest in your product and what they are willing to pay and at what quanity they want. That is when you might need to network with other growers to be able to supply the demand. As far as reptiles,Are there any big reptile shows in your area? Rent a table space and advertise.

Thank you, Tracy!! Your input was very encouraging and helpful! Also, I don't think it would hurt to contact fairly local pet stores either.
