I always wondered what recipe Elmer used. :tup:

Cool.  We’ve been raising Californians and my daughter raises Dutch to show.

I'm going to jump back into rabbits soon, youngest daughter (7) wants something to show at the fair.   

We'll do meat rabbits because they sell at the meat market for a fair chunk of change, they give the rabbits right back to the owner a lot of times but not always.  Other daughter shows hogs every year at the fair and does well.

Going to build a new hutch first though, I got some ideas.

When you say meat rabbits, what do you mean? I’m just curious. Our youth livestock sale at fair is a mandatory terminal cull so the kids don’t get them back. If the buyer doesn’t want the animal, there are turn buyers that will buy them for fair market value. We had rabbits sell this year anywhere from $300 for a meat pen all the way up to $400 for a single fryer. All of them were purebred rabbits. 3 of my Cali’s were in youth sales. 1 at the skagit county fair and 2 at evergreen state fair. They went for anywhere from $150-180 a piece.

PS if any youth want Cali rabbits for a breeding project, I will pretty much give them to kids to get them started. Not adults but for kids participating in 4-h or FFA let me know. I’m a promoter!

meat rabbit I'm talking about the breed, typical meat breeds like NZW and Cali's  (which to me are the two top tier meat breeds) then 2nd tier meat bread would be: SFox, CD'A, cinnamons, satins, etc etc on down.  If a guy wants to practice putting up fur some of those breeds would be great. Your rabbit knowledge has probably far exceeded my own by now, I just had some for a few years as an adult and raised them as a kid, and just ate them all, I don't know all the ins and out of showing them at the fair.  I know some key things to look for on a meat rabbit as far as quality, but show me a dutch and I'm lost.

I guess your right about the cull, they often donate the animal back and the butcher picks it up at floor price on hogs so the kids don't actually take the animal back home from a meat pen sale, but I wasn't sure about how the rabbits worked, we don't have much of a market here (1 or two kids in the meat pen if we're lucky) so I thought the kids were taking them back home if the buyer didn't want to actually take them home themselves, which is highly likely.

The fairs are all different so you might be correct at your fair.  2017 we had 3 kids with rabbits at evergreen state fair. This year we had 11.  The rabbit program is growing over here but I’m sure a little had to do with dollar signs as well. When your kid is ready, let me know. My buddy and I have some nice Cali rabbits. Happy to set her up.
