Speaking as an outside observer, Phlip, I'll say Yahoo seems to be
giving you exactly what you pay for, although my money's on the
keyboard or even you in this case.

However... I was looking at rabbit yesterday, AAMOF, and $2.49 a
pound for a 1 3/4 to 2 1/2 pound rabbit brings you in at around $4.50
-$6.50, which is fairly consistent with your numbers. This was
completely dressed weight, though. Not even any giblets :-(  . Looks
like they _may_ have been frozen at some point, too.

Nice tender wabbits, though.
