When to order replacement does?

Your processor wants more fryer rabbits in the winter months; they are usually swamped during the summer. So, you need to produce more fryers during October to May (assuming northern winter). That means you need to breed more does during the period July 1 to March 1. So, you need replacements that are ready to breed by the beginning of July, so these replacements need to be born by February 15th.

To have more fryer rabbits for October 2005, you would want to get your replacements ordered now, October and November 2004. Then we will make sure that our best does are open to be bred in December and January, to produce good young that are born in January and early February, so that you will have young does ready to breed beginning in July so that you have fryers next October!

Young replacements need special raising during their growing period, they are not just the ordinary fryers that got too big.
