"Rabbits are the most underrated livestock on the farm!

Everyone talks about beef.
Everyone posts chickens.
But hardly anyone wants to talk about rabbits.

And honestly? They’re one of the cleanest, easiest, most efficient meats you can raise.

🐇 They don’t tear up pasture.
🐇 They don’t require acres.
🐇 They’re quiet.
🐇 They convert feed to meat better than almost any livestock animal.
🐇 Their manure is garden gold — no composting required.

Four does and one buck can produce close to 100 pounds of meat in just a few months. Try doing that with a cow.

If you’re serious about food security, sustainability, or just feeding your family well — rabbits deserve a whole lot more respect than they get.

They’re quiet.
They’re efficient.
They’re practical."

Lamb spam for your morning ♡

Little guy snoozing in mom's breakfast! He tried a strand or two but it didn't taste quite right yet. He is very interested in people... as long as we don't notice 😉 Happy one week birthday, Ferdie!

Dad, mom, and two son mini rex ♡ Snuggling and giving kisses this morning, and every other morning. They approve of colony life!

Lucas is an awesome sire! His kits are 9 weeks old now and it's about time to move them out to their own colonies. We just have a hard time breaking up the family bunny pile!
