Spring is here!

I have been so busy these past few weeks, birthing goat kids, selling rabbits and so on... The bunnies seem to be enjoying the warm weather :). The trees are starting to bud and the grass is starting to get green :).  I have sold two litters in the past week.  So, I re-bred all of my breeding does-nine of them; they are all due the end of next month.  I have decided to get out of the Californian breed, because I don't think they are as profitable as the Production Whites.  The Californian breed don't seem to handle the heat as well as the Production Whites.  They appear to struggle a lot more when it's really hot.  Last summer was an extremely hot summer, & I lost Krissa, my favorite Californian doe.  I didn't lose any Production Whites.  Also, the Californian breed eats a lot more than the Production Whites.  Since I breed for meat, I want to make sure I am getting the optimal amount of meat for my family.  I weighed the Production White breed v.s the Californian breed (freezer weight), and found that you get much less meat on the Californians at 10-11 weeks (typical slaughter age); I got about 1-1.5 pound of meat. With the Production White breed, I got about 2-2.5 pounds of freezer weight meat, & was able to slaughter much earlier (8 weeks). 
Here are a few pictures around the farm....

Ron Paul For Presedent ~ 2012

This is a little off topic, yet, it is a very important subject that needs to be talked about. Congressman Ron Paul is a conservative Libertarian that stands 100% for the Constitution and America's rights. He will bring back our freedoms as a country and protect our RIGHTS! 


I will encourage you to educate yourself on Ron Paul and why you should vote for him in the 2012 election.

Here are some reasons why you should vote for Ron Paul?

1. Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate for a balanced budget and a plan to get there
2. the ONLY one who would bring US troops home immediately
3. the ONLY one who would end the Fed
4. the ONLY one who believes in the free market
5. the ONLY one who believes gold should be used for currency
6. the ONLY one who plans to cut $1 TRILLION dollars in the first year as president
7. the ONLY one who will be true to his principles, just as he has for decades
8. the ONLY one who has NEVER voted to raise your taxes
9. the ONLY one who stands to protect YOUR constitutional right to own a gun
10. the ONLY one who is 100% Pro-Life

If this isn't enough to convince you that he IS electable and that he IS the right president for this country, please check out this website for all 30 reasons on why you should vote for him: http://www.wethepeoplehavepower.com/2011/12/30-reasons-to-support-ron-paul.html  -  Or, just go to Ron Paul's website at:  www.ronpaul2012.com

New litters! :)

Well...I haven't posted in a while because I have been "winterizing" my barn making sure that the shutters have no cracks, and stuffing them with old T-shirts & sweaters from a local auction. Since my last post, I have had a little success with the breeding.  I've had two litters born;  the first one was a litter of 7 and the second was a litter of 9. I have five more does due around the first of the new year.
We have finally  finished the barn with shutters on all four sides, so hopefully that will help in the summer :) I'll try to post pics of the barn later.


Here are a few pictures of the new babies....

Bunny Updates

Sorry for the late post,
I have Brindy, Kristy, and Kibble bred. Its been a relay hard breeding season, the does are  being little "brats":)
We are hoping to have all of the walls/shutters on the barn by the winter.


here are some various pics.

Goodbye Krissa

Krissa was a 1 1/2 year old doe. who died in my arms last week from the heat. she will always be missed:'(

New Rabbit Barn (YAY!)

We just got done with the expansion of my barn, well...almost, still have to put the shutters and walls on the two sides. There is sooo much space!

Here are pics...
