He did not receive funding from a bank. Profit margins for

his business are somewhat unpredictable the number of kits

(baby rabbits) a doe has a year can greatly effect the

business. He tries to conservatively figure his profits.

Here I will try to give you a little info on the possible

income of a 20 doe rabbitry. If the average doe has 12 kits

a litter and has a litter every 1 ¾ month or 9 litters a year,

then each doe averages 108 babies a year. Take this

number times the number of doe or 20 and you get 2160

babies a year. If each baby weighs 4-6 pounds (we?ll use

$900.00 a year in feed and $500.00 for any other

expenses and you?re left with $6,800.00. This only for 20

stock by a power of 10 in 6 months giving him ten times the

income. However he would have to buy that many more
