FARMER OF THE WEEK.
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.
