Rabbits
Our rabbitry is officially back up and running after a year without any rabbits, and over 5 years without any breedings.
June 2024 we purchased DEB'S BBC194 from Deb's Barn Bunnies in PA. This doe is the start of our breeding/preservation program with Giant Chinchilla rabbits.
She has many champions behind her including: 2023 ARBA Convention BOS (sire Triple H's Rocky), and 2024 NJSRCBAOA BOS (Deb's BBC174), her grandparents are national winners as well.
A snippet from the Livestock Conservancy on the breeds profile:
'Giant Chinchillas are large with mature bucks weighing between 12 to 15 pounds and does 13 to 16 pounds. Meat-producing qualities are given top consideration on the judging table. The breed is gentle in nature. Does have large litters and are very good mothers. Youngsters grow very fast and it's easy to produce a 7-pound fryer in just 2 months.'
