Testimonials

6th Jul 2010

Hi, many thanks for the course on saturday; it was very reassuring as far as actually dispatching a bird is concerned. I found it a much calmer experience than I could possibly have envisaged-thank you very much for that- I know now that I can do what needs to be done whether in emergency or because I am rearing birds for meat.

Regards Caroline Kane.

Kill, skin and prepare a rabbit £65

This course is not for the faint hearted. We breed New Zealand White rabbits for the table and they are the rabbits provided on the course. You will be shown how to kill, gut and skin the rabbit and then you will do it yourselves under supervision. The technique used for killing the rabbit is quick and humane.

You will be given a book which covers rabbit husbandry and despatch as well as how to prepare the skins to make garments or even just furry boot liners. There is not another book in print which covers all aspects of keeping rabbits for meat. The book also includes some delicious rabbit recipes to whet your appetite.

The cost of the course is £65, to include the prepared rabbit to take home and the book.
