Out of the blue, I got approached by a young lady's mother asking for help with a 4h project her daughter wanted to do. This 13 year old young lady did her research and had her heart set on Tamuk rabbits for her project! I was very impressed by the knowledge this young lady had, and the research she put into what breed of rabbit to show.
So, I did a breeding lease for this young lady and delivered the doe, cage and most of what she needs to do this project. She learned what breeding looks like and now will take care of the pregnant doe all the way through kindling, raising the kits and weaning then onto fair. 3 of the kits will be shown with the doe at the fair in the meat rabbit division and then those 3 kits will be sold at auction.
I look forward to her updates. She looks a little tired in this pic but only because she wanted to make sure Jane Doe didn't get out of her arms.
Jane Doe, a black magpie composite Tamuk 14 lbs was bred today by Buck Rogers who is 16 lbs fawn Harliquin Tamuk. This unrelated lineage is from Rose Oak Ranch who got their Tamuk directly from the university that developed this heat hardy meat rabbit breed.
