I haven’t posted on here in a while but I thought I’d share a picture of one of our current Crème Dargent litters. These are as home raised as they come with FLF in the majority of their pedigree.

I’ve been away at college and I will be in Arizona on internship for at least the next 8 weeks so please give me grace if you’re inquiring about rabbits as I may take a while to respond and I don’t entirely know what I have🙂

Today I saw a comment that said “your dinner doesn’t need a pedigree.” This was in regard to not needed to spend money on show stock and that showing is not necissary for homestead food production.

Why is it worth buying your meat rabbits from someone who breeds to standard?

The standard of perfection is designed to produce the highest meat yield for each commercial type breed. While your dinner doesn’t need a pedigree, it’s still important to start with quality stock. Poor loin depth, pinched hips and bad shoulders lead to lesser quality carcasses. These unwanted traits carry into the next generation leading to an over all lesser quality herd that may cost you more money in the long run.

Some breeds carry genetic issues like mega colon. This is a common trait found in some breeds like Hotots and some New Zealands. It is associated with the broken gene. This creates an enlarged colon which can result in low feed conversion and difficulty for the rabbit to maintain weight resulting in poor condition and lower mass. Other generic issues like sore hocks, split p***s and malocclusion can have detrimental effects on the quality of life of a rabbit and greatly impact the overall health of your herd.

There is also the idea that throwing giant breeds into the mix will result in more meat. This may or may not be the case in reality. While giant breeds produce larger carcasses, it’s important to note that these breeds have larger bone structure. In the early stages of life for these breeds, growth is primarily focused on bone development over meat development. When paired with a commercial meat breed, this trait can pass on to thd offspring. This can result in carcasses with lower meat to bone ratios at processing than their solely commercial type counterparts.

Ensuring that you are starting with quality stock to begin with can help save you time, money and a lot of headache. There are many who throw rabbits together to produce meat mutts without considering potential genetic issues and common breeds traits. Yes, show breeders typically charge more for their stock. Keep in mind that when you buy from a breeder that breeds to ARBA standard you are not only getting quality over quantity, but also the knowledge of that breeder, stock that has been tested against the standard and often times mentorship. It is worth investing a little more in your breeding stock in the long run.

Your dinner plate doesn’t require a pedigree, but neither does showing. It doesn’t even have to be purebred to go on a show table. What matters is that it is a healthy animal that exemplifies the standard for that breed.

If you can’t afford or don’t want to invest in a trio, you may still want to invest a little extra in your buck. You want something that is going to produce for you. Your buck is 50% of your herd. A show quality buck that has been tested against standard is more likely to set you up for success in the future.

This little Blue Flemish Doe is just as cute as can be! She’s about as friendly as you’d want one at this age and would make someone a super cute 4H rabbit. Purebred, fully pedigreed, and color correct. Ready to hop to your barn for 200 carrots. Cisne, IL

How would you like to have a proven breeding Blue buck like this in your barn? He is fully pedigreed and color correct and he is the sire to the 12 week olds I’m posting. He is ONLY looking for a new barn because his brother is just a little bit prettier! He produced some absolutely GORGEOUS babies for me, as you will see on my page. Someone sn**ch him up before I change my mind! Ignore how I’m holding his ears, I got a bit caught up in grabbing a photo while he was posed😂. I will be picky where this guy goes! Born 1/04/24. PM me if interested. Cisne, IL

Pictures coming tonight! I’ll be tattooing and taking weights and getting some better pictures tomorrow. I can meet with people starting tomorrow as well. Stay tuned and get first pick! If you’re looking for a good one you’re sure to find it in this bunch!!! We’re gonna be in between coats right now as 12 week olds, but don’t let that distract from the quality of the body of the rabbits!

Hey folks, I know I’ve been silent for a while!
I plan on going home and sorting rabbits the weekend of Valentine’s Day, so I will be home Feb 14-16th. I have a litter of blue Flemish Giants that will be 12-13 weeks old and a proven blue buck that will be posted. I also should have a couple Sandys and maybe a Fawn as I will not be continuing to breed the Fawn and Sandy varieties of Flemish Giants. Keeping my fingers crossed that I’ll have maybe a Crème Dargent or two to post, as those are always in high demand.
I also wanted to mention that we will no longer be consistently breeding New Zealand rabbits at this time. We are now down to Flemish Giants and Creme Dargents, with my Flemish varieties being white, light grey, steel, black(grey and white heritage), self black(blue and self black heritage), and blue.

As usual, all rabbits are purebred, fully pedigreed(unless stated otherwise), tattooed, and color correct. I breed show rabbits to ARBA standards. PRICING IS BASED OFF THE QUALITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL. A rabbit that more closely resembles the standard for its respective breed will cost more than one who maybe wouldn’t do as well on the show table. I expect this group to be between the $100-$300 range, but I can’t say for sure until I lay hands on them.

Thank you all for being patient while I am in college still trying to manage my rabbits! I am excited to get back to attending shows after college.

I have every variety of Flemish. Just got into the Blues and Self Blacks, and I will have a few litters available soon, but I have actually never really seen them for sale. How much would you guys pay for color correct self blacks and blues with full pedigrees? I breed for show so I will be culling hard and producing show and brood quality animals. Not planning to sell pets.

Made it home this week to sort through rabbits. Was really hoping to have some litters to look at but not many rabbits have wanted to breed since it got cold out. I have a blue Flemish litter that is a month old now, should be ready to go in two months. I’ll post rabbits if I have any to sell.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I was hoping to make it down to sort some rabbits this thanksgiving but it looks like it won’t work out. Thank you all for your patience and bearing with me while I’m in college still trying to manage my rabbitry from a distance. Have a great Turkey Day folks!

!NFS!
Check out some of our crème herd! There’s a fourth doe I’d love to post but she was uncooperative today. Excited to see how this 4 week old litter grows as well, they’re looking promising! Hopefully I can make it to some shows with them soon.
