We always enjoy the Christmas show at Shipshewana! Lots of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4ths but nothing too exciting to boast about. Friends and family spent together is always the best part🥰🧡🐇 Thanks you for another well ran show.

Trying to reach a less wasteful sustainable lifestyle? This is some great information on how to use 100% of your herd. I'm still working towards many homesteading goals. Thank you SunStone Orchard & Rabbitry for being raw and informative.

I get many questions about how we utilize our rabbits 100% on our homestead, so I thought I’d make a list to help you waste less too!
If you didn’t know, our herd is for meat first, we raise exclusively Rex for a protein source, not just for us, but for our animals as well.
Our rabbits are harvested at 5lbs live weight or 12 weeks of age, whichever comes first.
2.5-3.5lbs of meat per rabbit is packaged for our freezers. We stockpile 52 rabbits for ourselves and sell or barter our surplus.
So what’s leftover after a harvest?
🐰Heads, dog food, whole fresh or frozen.
🐰Feet, front & back, dog food, fresh, frozen or dehydrated.
🐰Pelts, I’d love to make a Rex quilt, it’s a dream, all are frozen, most are bartered.
🐰Hearts & livers, offal, my favorite meal after harvest, I do not part with any of these.
🐰Lungs, trachea, kidneys, cat/dog food, fresh or frozen.
🐰Stomachs, spleen, intestines, the pigs really enjoy the stomachs, as they are full of grain, but this bucket usually ends up in the compost pile.
🐰Poops, up to 300+ pellets a day, the best thing for any garden, flower or vegetable. Rabbit p**p is cold compost, which means you can use it immediately, without harming your plants.
🐰Blood, watered down makes a great foliar feed in your garden.
🐰Bones, bone broth, bone meal.
This cycle repeats itself every 6-8 weeks on our farm.

Who else has creative uses for utilizing rabbits 100%?

For those of you with hollands know, they are hard. Breeding can be heart breaking with litter size, peanuts, or ones who seem healthy and gone the next day. This little loneranger beat the odds and is 2 weeks.
Trigger warning⚠️ no I don't start posing at 2wks😆 content for a joke but was too cute not to share. Han Solo

I narrowed down a few more if any 4H'er is still needing a show bunny. Message me if you're interested.

When you're headed home from vaca and running too low on feed, you find a Heinold Feeds dealer on your way. Get me through the weekend.

Sweet baby cremes. Like mother like daughter. But who doesn't like head scratches🥰

Such a good read for people entering the hobby as well as a good reminder for seasoned breeders.
Make friends in this hobby. Help each other improve. Yes, in shows it's a competition, but it should be a clap for others until it's your time to shine mentality. 🐇😘

Another great show. "GIRLFRIEND" brought home another leg and won BOB for the rare breed show. Thank you to Rabbit Renegades and judges for another fun show.

Another great show. Sorry I'm behind on my post. Shipshewana is always a great show and place to enjoy before the holidays. Lilly and I both done well. Getting BOB for open and youth for Cremes. Have a few hollands she is excited to see grow also. 🧡
