Well, I'm glad I did not think those short ears were cute. Of course, they are the complete opposite of my elops' ears....I also have a basset hound. 'nuff said.

LOL! I was watching the same thing on a bunny today! I only have one doe that I can see the kits move. I've always wanted goats, but we decided not to go there for now...which means I need to see lots of pics of yours!

Looking great! Will be fun to hear how the shows go for you and your buns.

My favorite meat breed so far has been the Giant Chins. They are usually 4.5 to 5 lbs at 8 weeks. Most people get scared off from them because of the "giant", but many of them are only 12 -14 lbs as adults. They do not eat more than the Americans I used to raise for meat also. They are a...

Hmmm, I had seriously considered Lilacs for my rare meat breed in the past, but did not know they came in rainbow. I heard they were gentle and great mothers. May have to rethink this again....

I was having this discussion recently on facebook...I think mini lops use the same color guide as Elops and Flops. "Cream" is a creamy beige with blue eyes, "Fawn" is golden with brown eyes, "Orange" is bright orange with brown eyes. I did not know this, but "Red" is also recognized in the...

Yes, but I'm trying to locate my chocolate carriers right now...

You gotta love the little curves mother nature throws us. Good problem, perhaps?

Congrats on your new buns! GCs are lovable. My first one, Rhett, is a forever bunny for me. He is 3 now. I hope you do show them, too.

"Sure, I know my lines still need a bit of work, you can never stop learning and improving, but even if I get docked for something or don't take home first, it will still be very valuable information to take and apply to my herd of what else I need to be looking for." That's my main reason for...

The babies often have brown looking fur on the tips, but will silver up at their first molt. They should not be chestnut...they are mixed if they are.

Sweet.....

I still have some GCs. They are totally different from the elops. Even when I bring them in the house, they will stay in a two foot square, but the elops will have the whole house explored in a matter of minutes. They are still and quiet most of the time, but i have seen a momma or two who...

We usually grind a whole older doe every year for our meat...I can't imagine living without it-LOL! We use it in place of beef for all our red meat meals. I have also started canning the ground meat to leave more room in the freezers for the steaks, roasts, etc from younger deer.

They are all great pics, but that rabbit sandwich one is priceless! lol!

Adapted from Greene Acres Old Fashioned Cookery Book Start with 1lb dried white beans, cooked. Add about 6 cups of chicken broth. Brown 1 lb of ground white meat in olive oil with two chopped onions, 3 cloves garlic, cilantro (optional), a 2 tsp cumin, 1 tsp parsley, and salt and pepper. Add...

Let's see...in the past week we had oven fried rabbit, rabbit & dumplings, and white chili with ground rabbit. Usually don't have it quite that often. I also canned 8 pints of rabbit so I expect we will be eating it more and more.

I don't do deposits anymore. I do first come, first serve, meet me at a show or somewhere near me with cash only. I keep it really simple...and that's the way I like it. Of course, I sell very few bunnies per year. I do try to stay in touch with buyers, if possible though.

Yay for the rare breeds! Congratulations!!

We hope to finish our home made flush system (hubs had a rotator cuff repair, so probably won't be finished until spring). I will add five more cages to the main rabbitry, and maybe add another double hutch in the yard. I've added French lops, and they may be replacing the Giant Chins. I am...
