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.

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.

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

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.

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.

I don't know if they're still around, but there was a little market (don't remember name but began with a C) in Cankton that used to have rabbit. It might be stretching your 100 mile limit, but could be worth looking into if you don't find something else.

Not cleaned, but give Petco a try.
