Ok, I know I'm off point here but I have to comment. I am an old television director from the old days. Your video, from my perspective is excellent! Technically it is clean, perfectly exposed, stabile and very well edited. Your use of a technique know as "cutting on action" is perfect. Examples here are when you leave a shot you walk off frame, followed by a transition dissolve to the next shot where you walk into the frame. The dissolve is a perfect transition because it "implies" a passage of time. It all moves seamlessly and is very aesthetically pleasing. I assume your husband, and my apologies for not remembering your names, is the cameraman. The stability of the video is excellent! I would think it was all on a tripod. I know that most shots, if not all were hand held but the stability, focal lengths of the lense and the exposure are definitely worthy of a professional cinematographer. Then again I also know the power of a decent iPhone. Your farm is a textbook example of order, efficiency and excellent planning. Well of course it is. There is a United States Marine in charge.
Frank Cox wow! I’m kind of speechless.... lol. First of all thank you SO much for your very kind words about the quality of our video. It’s comments like this that make us feel good about what we’re doing and gives us encouragement to keep going. We are very much newbies to the TH-cam world and with that comes so many struggles of learning to shoot different angles, how to edit videos correctly and aesthetically pleasing to our audience etc. So, I am amazed that someone who knows their stuff about editing and video quality would compliment our video! ❤️ My husband, Jacob, was indeed the camera man for this video, and he appreciates the compliment as well! Thank you again, sir, for your comment. God Bless! 🙂
@@SawyerRidgeFarm Yes, you are definitely doing an excellent job of shooting and editing your video. I know you are taking extra time to plan it out. That is the key! Plan it out. So many times in my career I had sales agents tell the client, " Don't worry. We'll fix it in post." What!!???!! Salesmen! You have the natural instinct for this video thing. And you have the discipline for your farm. You will succeed!
Frank Cox thank you so much! I have spent several hours planning and editing on just these first couple of videos we’ve posted, so I appreciate that someone notices the hard work it takes to make these! 👍
Sawyer Ridge Farm the vid you posted today I made a comment about how good your uploads are. I’m not surprised to see y’all had gotten this input and compliment. 😊👍😊
Kimberly Moreau awesome! We’ll for sure be building the hutch pretty soon. Hopefully before it gets too cold. 😃 And I’m sure we can build another tractor sometime too. Thanks for watching! 😊
God bless You and Dutch ,Arms family , Hidden heights, and others are encouraging me to do my channel sometime next year when I retire . Starting my journey on a homestead for first time . But yes like to see your builds and your hit and misses on homesteading .
Coz Iii thanks for the support! We love this style of living and wouldn’t have it any other way! We hope you get to live this lifestyle sometime soon too! 😊
Dianna Boffer thanks! And I actually have one going right now that’s my first one, so it’s kind of an experiment. Once I know this process will work, I will make a video about it! 😊
Love the Rabbits. Y'all are doing a great job with your videos, very informative. Also love the Bloopers, they add a nice comical touch to the end of the video, Great Idea !!!...May God Continue to Bless and Protect y'all !!!
Thanks Sawyer Ridge for taking us along with you , I loved the bloopers at the end. Have a great week and we will see you next time. Have a blessed week and God BLess
we love you guys. As a family we watch together, and appreciate your hard work on the farm, and editing videos. We always pray for the homesteaders that we watch on TH-cam. God bless you greatly!
Nice! That was great information. I would love to see a tractor build and at some point how you tan your rabbit hides. We are about to close on our new homestead. Rabbits are on the wish list for meat purposes. 😂😂😂 I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who struggles with retakes😉!
A Slice of Heaven Homestead thanks for watching! Hopefully rabbit tractor and hutch build will be very soon! And yes, we struggle with the outtakes.... A LOT!! 😂😂
Looking in from Ireland loved your post Christmas family gathering.Great to see you all praying together and Granny visiting of course.I love all your videos.You are a fantastic ,caring , hardworking young couple.I hope you have 100000 subs by the meet up in May , you deserve it.Take care and God bless.
Good video guys I use to raise meat rabbits an had the same kind an sell as well .. ducks .chickens .pigs calves an had cpl riding horses too.. loved every minute of it till I got diagnosed with incurable health condition which has for now taken all that away on me.. but keeping hopes 🙏 prayers things get better I miss it badly but watching your channel helps keep me inspired .. love the funny bloopers guys .. jus be yourselves while on camera an don’t worry if you flub up it’s ok no ones perfect we’re all only human lol.. jus keep right on Rollin a little humour never hurt no one look forward to more videos guys !!👍👍 thanks from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Darren Sager thank you so much for watching and supporting our channel and for the kind words. I’m sorry about your health condition limiting you in things you want to do. I’m thankful for TH-cam so people who can’t live this lifestyle and want to can maybe live vicariously through another. God Bless! 😊
Great information, and yes I would love to hear more! I’m also in Oklahoma and I was worried about the hot summers so I’m really looking forward to hearing how you deal with the heat 👍😁 BTW Love the bloopers 😂
Auntie Ann we do take a couple precautions with our rabbits in the summer heat. So far (knock on wood) we haven’t lost any to the heat. One thing we do in these cages that you see in the video is put a tile in each cage. They love to lay on a cool tile when it’s super hot out. 👍
I love watching the two of you and your videos. The best part was the bloopers at the end. You should do that for all your videos. The rabbit part was informative and made me think back on how my dad built a hutch for "Hoppy" our rabbit, that my dad had found on the road that he always took up to work. Keep up the great work and God's blessings to the both of you. ❤️
I’m new to your channel I came here from coffee with the crockers I would love to see a rabbit tractor build and to learn more on raising rabbits and tanning the hide thank you for making theses videos love them see ya on the next one
Hello, how are you? You are doing great and we are enjoying watching you and the precious moments that you share. Can’t wait to see more of your life, be safe, take care and remember that the universe will look over its community and extended family. By the way you can call GG Ma and Pa🤗
Your rabbits are beautiful 🐇. And I can attest to the fact that your rabbit manure works amazing in the garden. My tomatoes did not stop growing and producing until this freeze we just had. Sign up folks!!! Side note. Very proud of your channel. One day I will get brave and give it a try. I just love the bloopers. 💕
Cynthia Barrow thank you! It was a huge leap of faith for sure! We’ll have lots more manure for next years garden as well. We’ve been saving up feed bags full.
Hubby grew up on game especially rabbits. Nothing like a rabbit back with biscuits and gravy. Stewed too. Proud of you. Between the meat, poo and pelts...rabbits are a great resource.
@@SawyerRidgeFarm your not getting there.YOU ARE THERE ALREADY. You even got your own little nitch, by putting in the out crops. Yaaaaa. Your angels are watching over you. G-D Bless.
Monica G when we do eventually build another tractor, we will definitely show you guys how it’s done! Right now we are working on building a hutch or lean to over our stationary rabbitry (what you see in the video) before we build anymore tractors. Thank you so much for watching! 😊👍
Yes rabbit pooh is the best for fertilizing, I will have to buy some rabbits from you kids as soon as you have some for sale. I figure we will start off with a couple does and 1 buck. thanks for sharing that answered my questions I had asked on another vid.
Loved the bloopers, lol. Made for a nice lighthearted ending, lol We had rabbits as kids, but not for meat. I had a large northern Cottentail that was bigger than those you raise. We got them off a farm much like yours. Our hutch was much the same with a hard wood nesting box attached to the back, wrapped on the outside by wire mesh. More to keep critters out than rabbits in. The nesting box had a false back divider that didn't go all the way to the top protecting a light bulb which was for warmth in the winter, We also had 1 on the ground so the bunny could run and eat grass etc that we moved around. My father would use the droppings in his gardens. When we built a hutch and a run for my daughter's rabbits we just built it the way we knew how. Funny to think that in nearly 40 years or more, the basic design hasn't changed much, lol
Jayne Skidmore thanks so much for watching and supporting our channel! It sounds like you had a nice setup. This one really seems to be working for us so far, and it’s not even finished yet.
Excellent videos and great content. I have researched rabbits for an animal to add to my new and it very high on my list of ones to come first. I would thoroughly appreciate and enjoy videos on hutch, and tractor builds. Thank you so much for sharing with us and I am looking forward to following along on your journey.
This was excellent 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻we raise rabbits, too...New Zealand, California, Satin, mix...we get the multi colors too...people who see them comment on their colors...some of our rabbits come out a red color...beautiful animals, and delicious...you two are so cute...continue the great work ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Jacob and Alex, new sub in from BumbleBee Junction :-) Mark says hi (: great video team I'm looking forward to following along. Have a blessed weekend.
You folks are so creative ! I am looking forward to what you come up with doing with the bunny furs. Perhaps a pillow with one side bunny fur , or a coin purse . You could sell your bunny items and cedar items and be one of the most interesting you tubers. Forget the t-shirts , everyone is doing that.Or have t-shits with a picture of a bunny under a cedar tree. Just some ideas. When will we know who won the coaster sets ? If I did not win, can I order a set of 4 coasters and 4 coasters without clear coat f(or my lingerie drawer and sweaters) . Cedar is such a nice smell and keeps moths from eating your wool sweaters in the summer . I think you need to stamp the back of the coasters with your farm or you tube logo as well.
Sorry if this question has been answered but I didn't see it in the comments but what was the stick that you put in the cages when you were feeding them for. It was in the beginning of the video. Just curious. I loved your video and it was super helpful. We've been thinking of moving to Oklahoma too and I'm so happy that people like you and Arm's Family, Dutch and others have been sharing such great videos. Thanks and have a blessed day.
Thanks so much for watching our video! 😊 Great question! That was just a stick I used to check their watering nipples to make sure they are all good! I use that stick to poke through the cage and push down the nipple instead of opening up every single door to test it with my hands. 👍
Thank you. That was really helpful. I enjoy your videos a lot. We are trying to homestead on one acre and only 6 laying hens and a doe silver fox rabbit as of yet. Would like to get a couple of pigs and a couple goats. Thank you for your time and hard work. God bless your everything 😇❣️🙏
Hi...great video!! You gonna show the whole live from born to plate off your rabbits? They are lovely...with and without pelt😉😉.. The bloopers are amazing....go on with all that stuff....thanks..
What were you doing with the little wire thing? Checking the nipples on the waterers?? Excellent video! I’m enjoying learning your techniques, even a year later! Will be putting these to use as I progress in my rabbitry! Do you give tutorials on how your video, what equipment you use and your editing software too? My husband and I are just getting started on our homestead, and as “Golden Age Newbies” we thought it might encourage others of our age to keep dreaming and working towards their goals!!
How did I not see your rabbit videos!? Good info on ways to care for them and know your market for making supplemental income. Do you have 4-H Rabbit clubs in your area? Do they know about you?
I can't grow rabbits here, but I sure would love some poo for my dirt. See I just moved here last Feb, after living on and in the mountains for 38 yes. I have two garden beds that I can use mostly flowers, there old and the soil is used up. I've put in bulbs and will use some grow bags for taters and such. Maybe I could find a place that let's you hang up notes , ask around thru this billboard. Thanks for sharing. JO JO IN VT 💕☃ 😊
Love rabbits...in more ways than one! We used to raise our own meat rabbits too. We had California whites, checkered giants and a few dutch chocolates. The chocolates didn't get near the size as the others though. I miss having animals. My health isn't that good anymore but I may be able to manage a few rabbits. Love the gag reel. Hope you keep putting that in. Be unique to you guys. Don't think I've seen anybody else do that. lol
Beautiful rabbits. My uncle had a small rabbit operation on the road to the farm house. Hunters would come and pay a small fee to hunt his wooded area away from the dairy operation. Those that just wanted a day away. If they didn't actually get a rabbit, they would choose one, buy it and my uncle would process it for them to take home.
Great video... in the beginning of the video... after you put food in each of the rabbit’s feeders behind the shop, what are you doing with the long rod/stick? Testing the water nipple?
I never kno rabbits cud eat..thanks for letting me kno in case I travel and see it on a menu board..lol..In my country Jamaica we raise them had pets so I never kno..blessings and love🙏🙏💕💕
We also raise rabbits on our homestead at Burr Oak Acres in northern IL. We raise Silver Fox Rabbits and they are excellent meat and fur rabbit. They are very friendly to raise. If you get time check them out.
Heather Beck I have heard of the silver fox rabbit and have been wanting to try that breed! Living Traditions Homestead, a channel we watch regularly, has that breed.
I've had rabbits as a pet, so I was a little bothered by you raising yours for meat. BUT, I DO understand why you do what you are doing wi r h your rabbits. I usually get the English Lop rabbit. Why don't you get the very large Flemish rabbits? They get to be 20 pounds & more. I would think they would give you more meet for your money income. Just curious. Btw, Dutch sent me over, so I now can enjoy your videos, too! Keep up the good work on your growing homestead. I look forward to hearing & seeing more from you. God bless!
Kathleen Carlstedt thank you! The setup we have now would not house the large Flemish giants, although they probably would give a better yield. We really enjoy the New Zealand/Rex cross because it’s great for meat and also for the farm store we sell to in the spring. They don’t want huge bunny rabbits. Lol Thanks so much for watching and supporting our channel! 😊👍
Mary Grace thank you! 😊 Our rabbits normally do great in the winter, it’s the summer heat that can be stressful on them. We will hopefully be building some sort of hutch over this long cage system you see in the video before the really cold weather hits.
If you haven’t heard of Good Simple Living & Homesteading, check them out. She has some really great videos on rabbits and a really good one on tanning the hides. Good to know where I can get rabbits when I’m ready to start raising them too. Woo hoo!
This popped up this morning. I know I've seen it but the like was not on, it is now! I often think of y'all and wonder how your doing? Any pitter patter of tiny feet yet? Hope everything is ok. 🙏❤⛵👣🍍🤗✝️✝️✝️
Do you keep them only seasonal or are your winter's warm enough for year round? To that's a great idea of tanning the hides, nothing wasted. 🤗 ... bloopers 🥰
Marie Dunn we keep them year round, and surprisingly they do great through the winter, it’s the summers around here that could be dangerous to them. But we take extra precautions in both extremes of the seasons. Thanks for watching and supporting our channel! 😊
Wild Edibles haha! 😄 Yep our rabbit tractors are a good 80 yards or so from the nearest water hydrant for us, so watering can it is. Lol We just recently installed the automatic watering system in our caged rabbits as you can see in the video, and it is awesome! 😁
yes, I am thinking ya'll are in OK? We are in N.E. Tx...we have 4 rabbits (2 doe/2buck) and are expecting both doe to kindle between today and next couple of days! Fingers crossed...one doe kindled prior, 2 kits - 1 dead/1 alive and other doe is maiden...so not sure how many we get...newbie homesteaders ...what do ya'll do with rabbits in the tractors during winter? do you breed year round or have a litter like now and then wait until spring to continue to breed?
Ginger Reid yes, we live in Northeast Oklahoma. We keep some of our rabbits in the tractors all winter and they do just fine. They have a little wind break from the tin on three sides. We breed pretty much all year except for the hottest few months in the summer.
John Reinburg thanks for watching! A rabbit hutch or a pen like the long one that you see in the video will be in the works very soon. So stay tuned! 😃
Ok, I know I'm off point here but I have to comment. I am an old television director from the old days. Your video, from my perspective is excellent! Technically it is clean, perfectly exposed, stabile and very well edited. Your use of a technique know as "cutting on action" is perfect. Examples here are when you leave a shot you walk off frame, followed by a transition dissolve to the next shot where you walk into the frame. The dissolve is a perfect transition because it "implies" a passage of time. It all moves seamlessly and is very aesthetically pleasing. I assume your husband, and my apologies for not remembering your names, is the cameraman. The stability of the video is excellent! I would think it was all on a tripod. I know that most shots, if not all were hand held but the stability, focal lengths of the lense and the exposure are definitely worthy of a professional cinematographer. Then again I also know the power of a decent iPhone. Your farm is a textbook example of order, efficiency and excellent planning. Well of course it is. There is a United States Marine in charge.
Frank Cox wow! I’m kind of speechless.... lol. First of all thank you SO much for your very kind words about the quality of our video.

We've been thinking of moving to Oklahoma too and I'm so happy that people like you and Arm's Family, Dutch and others have been sharing such great videos. Thanks and have a blessed day.
Thanks so much for watching our video! 😊 Great question! That was just a stick I used to check their watering nipples to make sure they are all good! I use that stick to poke through the cage and push down the nipple instead of opening up every single door to test it with my hands. 👍
Thank you. That was really helpful. I enjoy your videos a lot. We are trying to homestead on one acre and only 6 laying hens and a doe silver fox rabbit as of yet. Would like to get a couple of pigs and a couple goats. Thank you for your time and hard work. God bless your everything 😇❣️🙏
Great! Where is this
Been raising rabbits for close to 20 years. Love the meat and the poo is great for the garden and rose bushes. Enjoy
Kim Nisley yes, we used it on our garden for the first time this year, and were impressed at how well it did with the plants! 😃
Try it on tomatoes and watch them take off. Even flowerbeds do wonderful.
Hi...great video!! You gonna show the whole live from born to plate off your rabbits? They are lovely...with and without pelt😉😉..
The bloopers are amazing....go on with all that stuff....thanks..
Jens weine thank you! 👍
Omgoodness soooooooo & I do mean sooooo 💙💟💓 Uall's bloopers, its always like the cherry on top a 🍌 split❗❗🍀💟
😂😁😂😂😂😁😍
Aloha Mahalo 😄😂🤣
Yup all great reasons why I want to raise rabbits...i always love y'alls outtakes...hahahaha
When you show how you made the rabbit hutches please detail the watering system. We can see the black hose coming down, but not where it comes from.
Duck Landes oh, for sure! We will do a detailed set up for our watering system.
Thanks for watching! 😃
Devoted people love ya'all
Rose Novotny thank you! 😊
What were you doing with the little wire thing? Checking the nipples on the waterers??
Excellent video! I’m enjoying learning your techniques, even a year later! Will be putting these to use as I progress in my rabbitry!
Do you give tutorials on how your video, what equipment you use and your editing software too? My husband and I are just getting started on our homestead, and as “Golden Age Newbies” we thought it might encourage others of our age to keep dreaming and working towards their goals!!
Yes! Definitely show videos on hutch building and rabbit tractor building. :)
Karla Baca will do! 👍
I like your style of tractor best. I would love to see that built.
How did I not see your rabbit videos!? Good info on ways to care for them and know your market for making supplemental income. Do you have 4-H Rabbit clubs in your area? Do they know about you?
Thank you 🥰 very interested topic and well done video
Jennifer Maplesden thank you! 😊👍
Great video. Great info. You have a nice looking set up. Yes I am interested in viewing building rabbit hutches and rabbit tractors
William Pribble thank you! Those will be coming up very soon! We’re hoping to at least get the hutch built before it gets too cold here. 🙂
Great job guys! I would be interested in the rabbit hides!
Corbin Peters thanks! 😁 I’ll let ya know when we have some extra rabbit hides! 👍
I can't grow rabbits here, but I sure would love some poo for my dirt.
See I just moved here last Feb, after living on and in the mountains for 38 yes.
I have two garden beds that I can use mostly flowers, there old and the soil is used up. I've put in bulbs and will use some grow bags for taters and such.
Maybe I could find a place that let's you hang up notes , ask around thru this billboard.
Thanks for sharing.
JO JO IN VT 💕☃ 😊
Hi! I used to raise rabbits when I was a teenager. Fun. I've also eaten them.
Kathryn Williams they really are fun to raise! 😊
Love rabbits...in more ways than one! We used to raise our own meat rabbits too. We had California whites, checkered giants and a few dutch chocolates. The chocolates didn't get near the size as the others though. I miss having animals. My health isn't that good anymore but I may be able to manage a few rabbits. Love the gag reel. Hope you keep putting that in. Be unique to you guys. Don't think I've seen anybody else do that. lol
Kathy Durbin thanks for watching and we’re glad you enjoyed our silly bloopers. 😄
cute love the ending
Theresa Davis thank you! 😊
Beautiful rabbits. My uncle had a small rabbit operation on the road to the farm house. Hunters would come and pay a small fee to hunt his wooded area away from the dairy operation. Those that just wanted a day away. If they didn't actually get a rabbit, they would choose one, buy it and my uncle would process it for them to take home.
Virginia Reid well that’s a pretty neat idea! 😃
Great video... in the beginning of the video... after you put food in each of the rabbit’s feeders behind the shop, what are you doing with the long rod/stick? Testing the water nipple?
Yes, we test to make sure each watering nipple is working properly every day.
I never kno rabbits cud eat..thanks for letting me kno in case I travel and see it on a menu board..lol..In my country Jamaica we raise them had pets so I never kno..blessings and love🙏🙏💕💕
Coleen F yep! They are good eatin’! 😃
@@SawyerRidgeFarm Ok I wud really like to try it..never eaten it before😆👍
Very interesting. Wondering what your charge for your rabbits: live babies and/or meat. Also, what do you plan to do with the tanned pelts?
We also raise rabbits on our homestead at Burr Oak Acres in northern IL. We raise Silver Fox Rabbits and they are excellent meat and fur rabbit. They are very friendly to raise. If you get time check them out.
Heather Beck I have heard of the silver fox rabbit and have been wanting to try that breed! Living Traditions Homestead, a channel we watch regularly, has that breed.
I've had rabbits as a pet, so I was a little bothered by you raising yours for meat. BUT, I DO understand why you do what you are doing wi r h your rabbits. I usually get the English Lop rabbit. Why don't you get the very large Flemish rabbits? They get to be 20 pounds & more. I would think they would give you more meet for your money income. Just curious. Btw, Dutch sent me over, so I now can enjoy your videos, too! Keep up the good work on your growing homestead. I look forward to hearing & seeing more from you. God bless!
Kathleen Carlstedt thank you! The setup we have now would not house the large Flemish giants, although they probably would give a better yield. We really enjoy the New Zealand/Rex cross because it’s great for meat and also for the farm store we sell to in the spring. They don’t want huge bunny rabbits. Lol
Thanks so much for watching and supporting our channel! 😊👍
Bloopers are so funny
Im really enjoying your videos.
arbedreka meadows01 thank you! 😊
Great video I'm watching from the U.K. I also watch Dutch and Daniel Arms
Pauline Bailey thanks for watching and supporting our channel! 😃
You guys are awesome! One question,How do you shelter your animals in the winter?
Mary Grace thank you! 😊
Our rabbits normally do great in the winter, it’s the summer heat that can be stressful on them. We will hopefully be building some sort of hutch over this long cage system you see in the video before the really cold weather hits.
@@SawyerRidgeFarm Yeah,they are sensitive to heat for sure. Fans everywhere and ice in their water.
Great video thank you so much👍🏼👍🏼
If you haven’t heard of Good Simple Living & Homesteading, check them out. She has some really great videos on rabbits and a really good one on tanning the hides. Good to know where I can get rabbits when I’m ready to start raising them too. Woo hoo!
Paulla Wells yes! I love GSL’s channel! That’s actually the method that I’m using to tan my hide. So far, everything’s going good! 👍😊
Sawyer Ridge Farm - That’s awesome! I’m super glad to hear that!
Hi fellas :) from Maryland... my people are from OK choctaw/cherokee
This popped up this morning. I know I've seen it but the like was not on, it is now! I often think of y'all and wonder how your doing? Any pitter patter of tiny feet yet? Hope everything is ok. 🙏❤⛵👣🍍🤗✝️✝️✝️
Awesome farm
Do you keep them only seasonal or are your winter's warm enough for year round? To that's a great idea of tanning the hides, nothing wasted. 🤗 ... bloopers 🥰
Marie Dunn we keep them year round, and surprisingly they do great through the winter, it’s the summers around here that could be dangerous to them. But we take extra precautions in both extremes of the seasons.
Thanks for watching and supporting our channel! 😊
I would like to see more of what you do with the hides.
I am wanting to buy rabbits to breed. Do you sell them
Not at the moment. Sorry.
Hey me and my wife are looking at starting to raise rabbits and just wondering about ways to start up and average cost to start. Thank u
Rabbit hutch build, how to breed, how to tan a hide etc all because i am hoping to get into this also where to get a good breeding pair
Man at least I'm not the only one with a watering can to water rabbits
Rabbit poop is amazing I love it in the garden
Wild Edibles haha! 😄 Yep our rabbit tractors are a good 80 yards or so from the nearest water hydrant for us, so watering can it is. Lol We just recently installed the automatic watering system in our caged rabbits as you can see in the video, and it is awesome! 😁
Ya I seen the caged system really nice! We are winterizing around here lots to do b4 snow flys....
Hello, thank you😘🐰🐰
yes, I am thinking ya'll are in OK? We are in N.E. Tx...we have 4 rabbits (2 doe/2buck) and are expecting both doe to kindle between today and next couple of days! Fingers crossed...one doe kindled prior, 2 kits - 1 dead/1 alive and other doe is maiden...so not sure how many we get...newbie homesteaders ...what do ya'll do with rabbits in the tractors during winter? do you breed year round or have a litter like now and then wait until spring to continue to breed?
Ginger Reid yes, we live in Northeast Oklahoma. We keep some of our rabbits in the tractors all winter and they do just fine. They have a little wind break from the tin on three sides. We breed pretty much all year except for the hottest few months in the summer.
I would like to see anything you do with your rabbits.
John Reinburg thanks for watching! A rabbit hutch or a pen like the long one that you see in the video will be in the works very soon. So stay tuned! 😃
Plus will y'all be showing the process of tanning the hides?
We hope to show that process once we get some hides collected.
