Five hours to dress 14 rabbits, I really am getting slow. Well my 70th birthday was in March.
Bernie, None of the livers had any spots and I didn't brake any of the bile sacks. Almost 2 lbs...Yummm

Jayryunen, when I was a boy my Dd would hold them by the back legs and when they stopped crying and kicking he would hit them in the back of the head, braking their neck.
I brake their neck but a different way. I lay them on the ground, makes the feel a little better, then I lay a pipe across the back of their neck, while holding their back legs, put one foot on one side of the pipe and my other foot on the other, press down and jerk up and the neck is hanging loose.. I only had one cry a little.
Another on got me with his hind foot, before I could get a hold on them. But it was red blood mixed with red blood.
They have nisty feet even though I keep their cages clean. And I do Love their Poo, great stuff.
I only have 2 does and a buck, both does had 7 babies each, 8 days apart and I was dumping their litter trays twice a week. My 'First Born' will take care of them while we're gone.
These went into the freezer back in July
