I am working towards a breeding pair of reds and blues for new Zealand rabbits. Ultimately I would love to show them at arba and do well. Since these are meat rabbits I have been working on our growth rate, 5 lbs at 10 week. I've never shown at arba so I was wondering if it is absolutely...

This will be a little long of a post and a little scattered so I apologize for that. Quick background, we've been breeding pure bred nz rabbits for almost 2 years now. We've discussed a lot of directions for the rabbitry and the idea for now is to develope a strong line of blues and reds...
