Growth Rate
TAMUK-C were not specifically developed with a growth rate in mind, but as they are marketed as a meat rabbit, they should exhibit a growth rate similar to other meat rabbit breeds. 5 lbs by 12 weeks is a generally acceptable growth rate for meat rabbits. TAMUK-C often perform better than this reaching 5 lbs by 10 weeks. Select the fastest growing to keep this trait strong in your TAMUK-C.
