I breed rex rabbits for meat and show, and share it all very publicly
Figured my first Reddit post should be an introduction. I am an ARBA registered rabbitry that breeds rex. I originally bred tamuk for meat, and then the show bug bit me of course. In my opinion the two goals really shouldn't be as separate as people make them sometimes. I mean after all responsible breeders cull for the freezer anyway, regardless of breed, right?
Rex are a commercial type. Well bred show rabbits should still have structure, loin, hq, growth and overall fullness from their type. I'm working towards rabbits that can hold their own on a show table while still doing the job the breed was originally meant to do, and what my brand was built on.
I am also still learning very much and very publicly. I share the good litters, bad breedings, uncensored processing and culls, my improper posing attempted, low shoulders, genetics, embarrassments in the show room, and my daily battles with vegans. And the occasionally moments where I have absolutely no idea what i am doing. Basically you are getting the real learning process in real time, unpolished or finished lol.
Most of my chaos lives on Facebook, but I also do YouTube, TT, and I have a podcast now.
Now I take on Reddit...
