Spent my entire day off doing some spring cleaning in the shed. I pulled out the power washer and cleaned the cages. I even washed the walls and floors. The other half of the shed is full of new moms and babies, so that side will have to wait a couple weeks. Now im treating myself to a margarita at 4:30 on a Monday. 🤣

I bet this little bu**er is gonna have depth past its ears 😉

JLC’s Banana Hammock 🍌

Dam, Sire, and full sib all have national placings on them. I used him this spring, so he is proven. I unfortunately have too many bucks.

Check out these two little bucks with their prime lines already. Everyone knows I’m a sucker for a prime line…I do not need more bucks. One will eventually depart, but the question is which one? 🤔 I constantly keep switching who I like better.

We were lucky to hit the show table in Evart, MI on Saturday. JLC’s Princess Polly won Best Opposite in Show B.

After a long day, I was up early to graduate from Michigan State University with my Bachelor’s Degree in Agricultural Operations and a minor in Animal/Crop Production. I have been working full time ( sometimes 50+ hours a week) and going to college full time. I know my herd will appreciate not having to listen to class lectures while I’m doing nightly feeding.😅🎓

We had a fun weekend at the IRBA State Convention in Bloomington, IL. I took some Sr brood stock because I don’t really have a show team right now. I am happy to have placed 2nd in the Sr Buck & Sr doe class. We hit rain & snow for 4 hours of our drive home last night. The rabbits and I arrived home safely this morning.

🚜 BREAKING: Agriculture is still a big deal. 🌱

Shocking, we know. But without it, your morning coffee, favorite pair of jeans, and that oddly specific flavored oat milk latte wouldn’t exist. 😱

On National Agriculture Day, we’re tipping our (straw) hats to the young people who got their start in Ag and the pros who keep the world fed, clothed, and caffeinated.

But here’s the thing—the future of Ag needs more young leaders. More innovators, more problem-solvers, more kids who are Beyond Ready to take on food security, sustainability, and the challenges ahead.

So, let’s keep the Ag-venture going! Donate today to help the next generation grow into the leaders we need. 🌾💚 https://bit.ly/4bWx3OW

A style of rabbit that was winning a decade ago often cannot compete with the winners of today. We will discuss markings, fur, head, ears and eyes separately. Today we will focus on the body of a modern show rabbit. There are some consistent themes that differentiate the modern show rabbit from the rabbits of the past:

1. Depth - the modern rabbit is deeper. There is more rise to the topline which creates the depth. More rise will also shorten the overall length of body. Since flat rabbits are not competitive on a national level, depth is essential on the modern show rabbit.

2. More Roundness of Loin - the modern rabbit has more roundness of the loin from front to back. The roundness shortens and deepens the hindquarter. A round loin creates a round top. A longer loin creates a flat top.

3. Correct High Point - the modern rabbit reaches a high point behind the stifle, not any sooner.

4. Depth = Width Ratio - the modern rabbit will have a depth = width ratio throughout the entire body - shoulders, midsection and hindquarters. The deepest point of the body will be the widest point of the body. Both should occur in the hindquarter behind the stifle.

5. Sideline Taper - the modern rabbit will be deeper, hence it will exhibit more sideline taper from the hindquarter to the shoulder. Even on breeds with wide shoulders, the deeper animals will exhibit more sideline taper when following the depth = width ratio.

6. Fullness of Hindquarter - the modern rabbit will remain full into the lower hindquarter. The back legs should be set parallel and should be set as wide as the body, not any narrower. When viewed from behind, the rear view of the rabbit should resemble an inverted “U” where depth equals width.

This litter of 6 is a pretty consistent litter. I’m happy with the buck & doe ratio. Last year I was super buck heavy.
