Ability to set goals
This would correlate with reports. People could set an amount of meat they want to produce in a year, a number of kits they'd like to see born, or get their breeder cost below a certain number. Goals could also be used to improve growth weight and lower butcher age with an acceptable butcher weight. This would be a great way for people to constantly focus on improving their rabbitry.

GerritHi Hailey. a Good starting point is on getting your genetics right by keeping kits only as breeders if they are from large litters 8 in size that weaned on day 80 at 2.5kgs. Keep nothing under 2.3kgs on 90 days for example.
Unless you start off with good genetics from a good breeder with a mentor to help out it's going to take you 3 generations in my experience to clean up your herd before your hitting 2.5kgs at 80 days consistently.
Raise breeders to 125days min and over 3.3kgs before you start breeding them. Good husbandry, hygiene, feed amount and quality are all factors that can make or break your progress.
