Dave, Primarily, our rabbits are grown for show and resale. We're a 4-H family, and wife is big on 4-H rabbits. Also shows throught the state, and tries to get to national ARBA show when she can. We raise Flemish Giant, Silver Marten, Holland Lop, Californian, French Angora and Netherland Dwarf. (Used to have Dutch, but they're awfully hard to raise, lots of culling for markings.) Count is somewhere around 90 right now - but that is subject to change at any time! We also raise Shetland Sheep, and wife uses the angora from the rabbits and wool from sheep to make home-spun yarn. Once in a while one of the rabbits makes it to the table, but I have an awful soft heart, and it doesn't happen very often! I'm in Central Michigan, Where you located?

Ray - We are in Brighton. You're right about Dutch, they are difficult! As the "head culler" or as I prefer to call it, the "bunny murderer", I get to do all the killing. I do it on day one, just for markings, and leave anything that is marked right to be saved or sold. My daughters are number one in Michigan for gray dutch youth and not far off on torts. Most of their wins this past year have been in sandy Flemish. These were rabbits that I bought for myself and then did not have time for. My older daughter can handle the big rabbits just fine so I let her show them. It is a fine hobby for kids. I'll try to remember to contact you before the state show this spring. I'd like to meet you since we have so much in common. If you want to email me, try HageCPA*aol.com....just replace the star with an @.
