MARY MAGUIRE WITH DAUGHTERS KELLY AND SHELLY 7 There is an increasing demand in the Ontario market place for rabbit meat and a Biddulph township farm woman is doing her share to promote the business. Mary (Mrs. Dennis) Maguire starting 12 does about a year and a half ago now has increased that number to about 60 and hopes to add a few more in the near future. When her husband decided to go out of the hog business almost two years ago, one of the Maguire barns was empty. Mary says, "My father-in- law kidded me saying I should start raising rabbits, That's what I did and I really enjoy looking after them. Mrs. Maguire says the daily work of looking after the 60 mother rabbits and a large number of young ones takes about an hour and a half plus some three to four hours of cleaning pens once every two weeks. The ideal market weight for the rabbits at from 10 to 12 weeks of age according to Rabbit mar e growing Mrs. Maguire is five pounds. The market rabbits are taken to Bill Dickey's depot, just up the road from the Maguire farms and then on to a processor in Arthur. The current market price for rabbits live weight at the farm is holding at 65 cents per pound. Mrs.Maguire says the price has dropped about - eight cents per pound during the recent weeks, She said a lower quality of rabbit being imported from Japan has some effect on the price. She added, "We. don't have any marketing board or similar controls, but, I would like a way of stopping in- ferior imports," Each doe has five litters per year with each averaging from eight to 10 baby rabbits. The rabbits are fed hay, grain and vitamins in pellet form. Contrary to popular belief Mrs. Maguire says rabbits do not like carrots. They are housed in cages well above the barn floor with a doe and her litter in separate compartments. Mr. and Mrs. Maguire have two daughters. They are Shelley 4 and Kelly 2. Rabbit is a tasty meat that adds a very special dif- ference to a meal. It is en- joyed around the world, but marketing specialists at the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food suggest that many people don't realize just how much top-quality rabbit meat is produced right here in Ontario. Ontario has more than 2,000 rabbit farms. In recent years, they have been producing more rabbit meat than ever before to meet the increasing demand in the market- place. Raw rabbit meat is a fresh pink color, and has no skin covering or fat layer when packaged for market. The bones are small, giving a high yield of meatperpound. Cooked rabbit meat has a delicate flavor, light color and is finely grained, making it suitable for many recipes. There are two types of Ontario rabbit available.
