We have needed either repair to our brood doe cages or new ones and as it happened we were able to acquire a set of new/used cages in far better shape then some of our current ones. Can't wait to get these in our barn soon.

Rabbits seem to be fairing ok during the heat so far. We have lots of grow outs hopefully some good show prospects for the fall. It's rather loud in the rabbit barn but there is plenty of air flow

21/06/2025

Well looks like the Oklahoma heat is finally here. Not to mention the humidity to go along with it. With that brings extra challenges with keeping rabbits cool well I should say Alive actually. We have been raising rabbits in the summer in our current barn for about 5 summers now it's taking some tweaking to get it right and there are still some things we would like to change but we manage to do fairly well in the blistering heat.

A few things we do:

Air flow- to me that is the most important. It can be hot but if there is adequate air flow to your rabbits it will go a long way. We use chicken house fans that blow across the barn that pushes a lot of air ! And on the end of each of the rows of cages we use the high velocity fans all keep the air circulated through the barn. In the middle of the summer the air may be hot air but it's air

Water bowls- while this makes for a little extra work. I am fortunate to have the time. We use the rubber tubs you can get from any feed store this allows the rabbits to get their front feet in them if they want to cool off I can also refill easy or throw ice in the bowls to cool the water down for them

Ice bottles- I only do this when we are experiencing extreme temps and to be honest my does especially ones that have summered already with us won't use them but the young grow out rabbits will and I will put several in for them and they will lay up against them to stay cool

Mister - we added this 2 years ago and while it's in need for repair which my husband plans to do when he gets home this next time this helps tremendously. Our big barn is right out in the open the sun shine downs hard for most is the day and then late afternoon the sun is on the east side of the barn and thankfully the temps will drop in the barn then so this helps keep the temp of the barn roof from being scorching reducing in the inside temp by a couple degrees and every little bit helps

Our show barn is a little different it is climate controlled we do have an ac unit that runs in their but like I said I am home most of the time especially in the summer so I can monitor that to be sure nothing goes wrong I have a few does we keep in their so I can breed year around if i want to as a rule though I don't breed in the summer bc of the strain it puts on the does. Our bucks are also all in the ac so when we get ready to breed heavy this fall they are not heat sterile this has worked really well the last couple of years as long as the does cooperate we have no issues with Buck being sterile come breeding season

Kind of a long post but I just thought I would share some of the things we do for the rabbits in the summer. I hope everyone stays safe and cool. One thing that's probably most important is to take care of yourself I know as I get older the heat gets harder for me to handle especially since I had surgery this year is gonna be the worst I can tell you already. But stay hydrated and only do what you can and then cool off and start over.

So there is not much to report on the farm at the moment. Show season is over for us until fall, all the final does to kindle have had babies most are out of the boxes now. Hatching season what little it was this year is over so now the summer heat comes and the task to keep everyone alive has begun.

I had surgery almost 2 weeks ago so I have been resting and taking care of myself thanks to the hubs and the boys for picking up the slack and doing all the chores as I can not lift over 8 lbs for 6 weeks (not a fan but have to take care of myself)

On the up side though the show rabbits are getting a major upgrade ! We use the tractor supply stackers for the show rabbits which are great however the stack rails do not hold up over time so we decided to make our own so the husband has been busy welding new stacker rails with wheels to make it easier to move around. I am so excited for this !! As we go all the cages are gonna get power washed and cleaned up as they go in the new rails. So excited for new improvements to the barn. After this project we are gonna start on the brood doe cages I will post more pics once it's all done and in the barn !!

We are absolutely over the moon right now especially John !! We were not able to attend the LA Salute to the Brave Rabbit Show this weekend I am getting ready to have surgery this next week and will be down for 6-8 weeks and could not get it together to go but we sent Johns whites. We are so thrilled to report "Pearl" won BOB in show C and then won BIS!!

This is such a huge accomplishment for John. Pearl, Show Me , Frost and Ghost are all whites john has raised out of the rabbits he got his start from Ross Road / RR Rabbitry Ron Reaves. Ron has been a huge mentor to John with the Rexes and we can't thank him enough for that and for hauling the rabbits for us this weekend. John had several Opposite Variety wins with Ghost and Show Me was Best white in one of the shows as well I will post show reports once they come in.

Again big thanks to Ron and to those that helped get John's rabbits on the table for him today !!

Sitting here listening to all the storms praying they pass us with no damage but earlier today i got a couple pics of some of the newest babies in the barn. 8 out of the 14 have made their appearance so far couple does will probably wait until tonight while it's storming 🤦‍♀️ but we have quite a few New Zealand's , John has a beautiful litter of Black Rexes and their are a couple mini Rex litters with magpies and tris. Hope everyone stays safe through all the storms.

John was grinning from ear to ear when they handed him the Reserve in Show envelope and I was just extatic and so proud of what he is doing with his rabbits. All in all this was a huge success for us this weekend we have put a lot of time , effort blood sweat and tears in to the rabbits this last year to work on improving and we have a lot more work to do but we are overjoyed at where we are at now and look forward to all these upcoming Jrs. More babies were born while we were gone and lots more to come this next week

FYI.. we forgot to get pics of Pearl at the show so we took one at home 🤦‍♀️
