AW Ranch’s Reba

Reba is out of Jill and Cooper and was a singleton in her litter. The gorgeous girl is growing beautifully and I cannot wait to see her on the show table this weekend!

09/09/2024

Miss Lovey is one of the youngest rabbits I have ever taken to a show. At 5 weeks old I took Lovey and her litter mates to the Midwest Classic Quad show in 2023, this was my bottle baby litter. In the second picture she is the kit to the far left.

Now 1 year later I’ll be taking Lovey back to the same show to compete! This will be her first time on the show table and I’m so excited to see how she does.

09/07/2024

Show season is starting back up again for us so Cooper is coming back from vacation! He’s been relaxing at his lake front property all summer and is ready to hit the show table again.

SOLD! Congratulations Danyele Ramsey

Oberbroeckling’s WOI4
6 month old doe, currently weighs 8lbs 2oz. I have another doe from him that fits my breeding program better so I have decided to move her along.

Notes: She will sit nicely on the table but is a touch territorial with her cage. I have been working with her on this issue and believe hormones may be playing a part. On the table she is lacking a bit of depth that is needed in my barn and I would prefer a rabbit to weigh a bit more. It is very likely that she is slow to mature and just needs more time.

Located in O’Fallon, MO. Can transport to the Quad Show in Sedalia, MO on September 13th

08/26/2024

Here is a list of the shows that I will be attending! I am also offering transport to and from the show. Transport will be $20 per rabbit, message me for more details and routes.

I am so excited for this show season and cannot wait to see all of my wonderful show buddies!

Gary Cooper x Lucky Duck
Born 6/7/2024
Pictures taken at 9 weeks old.

I am really liking the way a few of these kits are turning out, hopefully the majority of the litter will be showable in September. I have my favorites, which are yours?

08/20/2024

Look who’s still on the sweepstakes!

Here is a great opportunity to get your kids involved! 4H allows kids to learn new skills, make lifelong friends, and make incredible memories.

The Flops have struck again! Every summer I have at least one kit that gets floppy ears. Sometimes it’s one ear, sometimes it’s both. Either way I think it’s adorable!

07/27/2024

I don’t believe I have introduced Miss Jill to everyone yet! This beautiful girl is Highway 64’s Jill and is one of the sweetest does in my barn. She’s also mother to the little doe I posted yesterday.

Pardon her posing, it’s been a while since I’ve put any of my rabbits together and she’s been nursing a litter. That said this gorgeous girl is 8 months old and weighs 10lbs 5oz!

07/27/2024

In two litters with a total of nine kits I ended up with only ONE doe! Thankfully she’s looking really good for 7 weeks and weighs 3lbs! I’m super excited to see how she continues to grow.

This little doe is out of Highway 64’s Jill and Green Gate Farm’s Gary Cooper.

07/23/2024

I adore both litters I have currently! On the left is my singleton kit from Jill & Cooper and on the right is one of the eight kits from Ducky & Cooper! I’m so excited to see how these youngsters grow up and I plan to keep a few back from these litters.

This is probably one of my most adventurous rabbits… I left this little earring in the backseat of my friend Mary’s car at New Zealand Nationals back in April, from there it has traveled across the country before finally coming home!

Thank you Mary for brining my little bunny home! His partner missed him dearly! 🐰🐰

Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

How do I send rabbits off on transport?

First I make cage tags with the rabbits tattoo and description, this is to make it easier for the transporter to know what rabbit is where. On these tags I also add the buyer with their pickup location and phone number along with my drop off location and phone number.

I also make sure I send more than enough food for when they’re in route and to transition afterwards. For this doe I sent 16 days worth of food as she’ll be in route for 12 days and I always pack extra incase there are delays. I like to send feed in a hard plastic container to make sure feed doesn’t spill out if a ziplock bag was to break. On this I have the rabbit’s tattoo and deception along with feeding directions and what additional supplements they can have. Again this has both my info and the buyer’s info.

The third thing I pack is a goodie bag for the buyer. In this case I sent it with the rabbit as this contains extra feed incase the jar runs out. This is also meant to be transition feed for when she gets to her final destination and can be put into the jar for easy mixing in transition. I also add some toys and a variety of treats I give my rabbits at home.

Finally on the day I meet the transporter I will weigh the rabbit to get a final in barn weight and will write my information in the right ear and the buyer’s information in the left ear. I put the buyer’s info in the left ear as that is the one which has the rabbit’s permanent tattoo ID and is the ear the buyer (and transporter) would check to ensure the correct rabbit is being dropped off.

🐰 Note: the rabbit pictured is in a transport carrier. This is NOT her permanent cage and is the rabbit equivalent to a dog or cat carrier. She has access to food and water while in route and there is enough space for her to turn around and lay down comfortably.

4H and FFA friends!

If you need help tattooing or want tattoos put on your rabbits I am available! I am happy to meet in Troy at Bomgarrs or Tractor Supply or in Wentzville at Rural King.

I am offering my tattooing services for FREE (tips are appreciated and help me buy tattooing supplies). I will clean the rabbits ear with alcohol, numb the ear, tattoo your ID onto the rabbit, and apply tattoo balm. I can easily do up to 8 digits on larger breeds and up to 5 digits on small breeds. BUT if you need more digits for a tattoo just let me know and we can make it work!

I free hand all of my tattoos so below are multiple examples of my work.

QuietCreek’s She’s All Courage is still available!

She is a black tort senior doe that is a proven breeder. She was born 5/4/2022 (2 years 1 month old) out of QuietCreek’s Perfect Alibi and sired by QuietCreek’s Rock Your World. She is registered and currently weighs 4lbs 1oz. At her first show she took 2nd in her class.

I am one of the first stops for Up North Pet Taxi and will be meeting her on June 24th as the first stop of the day. If you are interested in this doe and need transport check out her schedule and check to see if she has availability. Her schedule is the last picture on this post.

Pricing for this rabbit is based on her overall quality and breeding.

I have decided to get out of Holland Lops for now. After evaluating my herd and making some decisions on what I really want to focus on I have determined that I just don’t have the space to truly give this breed the time and dedication it needs.

06/12/2024

Jill I think you can stop pulling your hair out now… please…

I’m honestly shocked she still has fur considering how much is in this nest and all over her cage. She’s doing a wonderful job making sure her single baby is nice and toasty.

06/12/2024

They’re so RED ♥️

I am absolutely loving the color on these babies!

I have this beautiful doe available, pictures don’t do her justice (my ability to pose a holland doesn’t help her either 🤣)

Not only does this girl have mass she’s got the personality to match! Just check out the last picture in this post!

Ducky is a wonderful first time mom! She has been incredible with taking care of her kits, we did lose one but it was not her fault. Some kits are just failure to thrive and there’s nothing you can do for it. All of the other kits are well fed and active.

Great job Duck!

I picked this handsome boy up at New Zealand Nationals back in April, he’s finally gotten comfortable enough here that he comes up for head scratches! I’m so glad I took a chance on him and brought him home with me. #arba #newzealandred #newzealandrabbit #rabbitsofinstagram #rabbitry

Miss Hazel (B327) finally had her babies! Unfortunately she went well over her due date so these kits are a bit overcooked. We have two beautiful red babies in the nest and momma is doing a wonderful job taking care of them. #newzealandrabbit #newzealandrabbitbreeder #newzealandred #newzealandredrabbit #arba #rabbitbreeder #bunniesofinstagram #rabbitry #hazel

So proud of my rabbits and how far we’ve come in the last year. We picked up 11 legs across 4 rabbits in 2023! Here’s to a better year in 2024 with incredible rabbits and fellow breeders! #newyear #happynewyear #2024 #rabbitry #rabbitshow #rabbitbreedersofinstagram #newzealandrabbits

The size difference between these kits is incredible! Churro’s kits (black) are 5 days younger than Butterscotch’s kit (red) and there is a 7oz difference between them! When this video was taken Sunday, November 26th the kits from Churro’s litter averaged 5oz while Butterscotch’s kit was 12oz!

These babies are now a week old and absolutely adorable! I’m loving the dark red on these kits and can’t wait to see how they grow up! #newzealandrabbits #rabbitry #homestead #rabbitsofinstagram #cute #cutebunnies #bunnies #farming #agriculture #livestock #aggie #meatrabbits #farmlife #farming #cuterabbits #bunniesoftiktok #bunny #rabbits #rabbit #cuteanimals #cutebunny #homesteadtok #arba #newzealandredrabbit

York (AW3LK1) was a very good bun for the Rabbit Renegades show this weekend in Peoria, IL. She was the only black rabbit in all of her classes so she by default got Best of Variety. Some key notes from the judges: - Good head and ear set - Long in the coat with few white hair - Slightly long in the shoulder - Could use more depth and fullness #newzealandrabbits #rabbitry #homestead #rabbitsofinstagram #cute #cutebunnies #bunnies #farming #agriculture #livestock #aggie #meatrabbits #farmlife #farming #cuterabbits #bunniesofinstagram #bunny #rabbits #rabbit #cuteanimals #cutebunny #homesteading #arba

Maple (AW1MK1) also behaved very well! I didn’t realize how dark the tips of her ears were until we had gotten to the show! At the show I ended up trading Maple for a doe from another rabbitry. I’m looking forward to hearing how Maple does with helping my friend improve the weights in her lines! Some key notes from the judges: - Her coat was sooty/dirty in appearance - Good head - Weak in the shoulder - Needs more fullness in her hind #newzealandrabbits #rabbitry #homestead #rabbitsofinstagram #cute #cutebunnies #bunnies #farming #agriculture #livestock #aggie #meatrabbits #farmlife #farming #cuterabbits #bunniesofinstagram #bunny #rabbits #rabbit #cuteanimals #cutebunny #homesteading #arba

We hope everyone is staying cool today! With temperatures reaching 100° and humidity around 50% is important to keep your animals cool. For the rabbits that means frozen water bottles, frozen tiles, and cool treats! Make sure they’re drinking plenty of cool clean water and keep a fan running to get the air moving! How are you keeping cool in this summer heat? #summer #rabbitry #bunnies #newzealandrabbit #rabbits #hot #bunniesofinstagram #tipsandtricks #homestead #rabbitsofinstagram #frozentreats #staycool #beattheheat

Peter got to enjoy a little carrot snack today! #newzealandrabbits #rabbitry #homestead #rabbitsofinstagram #cute #cutebunnies #bunnies #farming #agriculture #livestock #aggie #meatrabbits #farmlife #farming #cuterabbits #bunniesofinstagram

The ducks have graduated to the full pond during the day! We still bring them up at night for their safety. #runnerduck #duck #ducks #ducklings #pond #rabbitry #ranch #farming #agriculture #missouri

Peter loves his cold treats on hot days! I made these with some carrot chunks and brussel sprout scraps frozen in ice cube trays! I also added some dill to the ice to encourage the bunnies to eat more. #newzealandrabbits #rabbitry #homestead #rabbitsofinstagram #cute #cutebunnies #bunnies #farming #agriculture #livestock #aggie #meatrabbits #farmlife #farming #cuterabbits #bunniesofinstagram #summer #snacktime #bunnytreats

For anyone curious about how we house some of our rabbits, here is a tour of our large hutch! There are currently two rabbits living here, Lyra and Daisy. I do plan to upgrade the floors soon when I can get the materials! #newzealandrabbits #rabbitry #homestead #rabbitsofinstagram #cute #cutebunnies #bunnies #farming #agriculture #livestock #aggie #meatrabbits #farmlife #farming #cuterabbits #bunniesofinstagram

These girls love getting to hang out in the grass! #newzealandrabbit #bunniesofinstagram #bunnies #rabbit #homestead #NZbunnies #rabbitsofinstagram #rabbitry

In addition to the bunnies we also have some Runner/Mallard ducks! They’re going to make a great addition to our pond, especially since they love to eat all the algae growing in it! #indianrunnerducks #mallardduck #ducks #ducksofinstagram #layingducks #pondcleaning #babyduck #ducklings #cuteducks #farming #agriculture #ranch

The newest addition to our family finally got their upgrade! These ducklings are Runner x Mallard mixes! Hoping to add a few Pekins to the mix soon! #runnerduck #mallard #ducks #ducklings #pond #farming #agriculture #cuteducks #aggie

Gave the buns a frozen jug and they loved it! Some of the babies liked laying on top of the jug while others wanted to lick the water off! #newzealandrabbits #rabbitry #homestead #rabbitsofinstagram #cute #cutebunnies #bunnies #farming #agriculture #livestock #aggie #meatrabbits #farmlife #farming #cuterabbits #bunniesofinstagram #summer
