Have a cook late April, looking for about 25-30 Rabbits. Anyone know of place that sells whole cleaned rabbits? Willing to drive 100 miles or so from Madisonville area.

Can't help you there, but I see frozen rabbits in Hispanic/Asian grocers in the Atlanta area.

Bailey's in Laplace used to sell them. Give 'em a call. If not maybe they can suggest someone.

I had forgotten just how good wild rabbit is. I've had rabbit dumplins and rabbit cooked down in a gravy lately and it is a damn delicacy.

Would be awesome if I can find that quantity in wild. Exactly what we do every year, cook in down in a gravy, they always love it, but have always used meat rabbits.

There is a rabbit processor north of Bogalusa

In Baton Rouge I've seen frozen whole rabbit at Iverstine Farm Butcher and Colandros Grocery. They were both the same brand which I think is "Miss Goldie" but I may have that wrong.

Iverstine is very good about ordering or may give you contact info on their rabbit supplier.

I love rabbit. The rib bones and vertebrae can be a pain

I could eat pan seared flank meat from a rabbit until I get sick. So hard for me not to eat that while I'm browning everything, not for everyone, but I love it.

The last time I looked at processed/frozen rabbit was in Rouses and the price per pound was insane.

It was up there higher than prime beef steak prices per pound.

The last time I got rabbit, it was cut up but I got it at the piggly wiggly in Madisonville. I don't remember seeing a label on it so they may be able to help you with a larger order.

Highly recommend Sweet Caroline. Gerald will sell you the livers if you ask. Perfect app when you fry them and drizzle a little Steens.

I went on-line to check out some sites that sell processed rabbits and the price is totally insane.

Upwards of $20 a lb. for whole rabbits and even more if just buying the backstraps.

That's going to be one expensive meal by time it's done if needing 25-30 rabbits.
