i HAVE A SILVER FOX IN THE OVEN AS I WATCH THIS! Its my first harvest of my livestock that i have been raising for the past 5 months. i am up to about 40 rabbits between silver fox and blue american both heritage breeds. I cleaned the meat in an intense lightning storm in my covered porch. it was a very surreal and rewarding effort and i cant wait to enjoy my efforts. well off to check on the oven!
Fyi, i saw a Joel Saladin video about having rabbits in greenhouse, i thought or small cattle panel house. Raise rabbits off ground 3 ft or so. Then raise chickens down below. Could use wood chip bedding. Allow pellets to fall Mix chicken feed with pellets. Chickens eat. No rabbit mess on ground. Would have to clean up every once in a while. Great combiner of space and location to feed, water, and check on.
We have rabbits now! We just found 2 breeding New Zealand does, 1 Californian buck and 7 mixed 7 week olds. So excited just watched your raising meat rabbit series for the 2nd time!
How wonderful. I just purchased a registered pair of Silver Fox Rabbits. My female is black and my male is chocolate. I am really excited to see what they throw. Cant breed right now because it has been -30 here in MT. Blessings for your rabbit endeavors.
We were fortunate to find a breeder who was ending their ‘career’ with rabbit breeding who was selling off cages and equipment. In our area EVERYTHING is somehow ‘rare’ and ‘dear’ when it comes to price for sale…but we got into rabbit breeding with 10 does,1 buck, NZW’s and 20 cages all for about $700. The nice part is not the paying of the start up or the work in converting the barn but that a dressed rabbit in our area sells for $54.00 properly sectioned and ready to cook. I think I would rather live further out where things are cheaper but when you get older you need to be within a shorter distance of a good hospital etc. life goes on.
I'm glad to hear you'll be doing the hides. I know it's hard work, takes a lot of time, but to not throw anything away is so much better. Celebrate rabbit poop galore!
Beautiful breed. Congratulations. Love your videos, and LOVE your sweet spirits. SUPER ENCOURAGING to those of us who just moving toward your lifestyle. Thanks for sharing it all with us.
Wow, how generous of Raylene! You are truly blessed! Was sweet of you to bring her a gift from your homestead. We just left Kentucky, what a beautiful state!
What a beautiful person Raylene is to reach out to you with this amazing gift of rabbits & cages. Looking forward to learning and watching you learn about this new breed you're raising on the homestead. Time to build more tractors! Thank you for the bloopers! 👍
OMG! I am SUPER EXCITED about your additions. 😍🤗💓 Makes my heart so happy to see a heritage breed on YOUR homestead because I know you will do your homework and expand even more with the knowledge you gain. Congratulations on your additions y'all 😍😃😄 And a HUGE thank you to Raylene💓 Broke my heart to see the tears😢😔. But she knew they are going to a great home😉. God Bless you all for sharing your life and your blessings with us 💖 -Karen
I have been interested in this breed for my future homestead, as well as learning how to tan hides. Definitely keep us posted! Thank you so much for sharing!
I love your videos, because of your informative videos I would love to raise rabbits some day on my homestead. I had wild rabbit meat once that my son hunted, skinned and cooked and I must say it wasn't bad at all. Keep the videos coming.
Sarah...these rabbits are beautiful...How about starting a new venture? Rabbit fur products??? You are so crafty. It's a shame to not put these beautiful bunnies into every useful item possible.
I hope you guys succeed on your farmstead.. Sarah, reminds me a while lot of my daughter...they seem to be engaged at whatever they are doing... good luck
Wow, I bet you were so excited. I am seriously thinking of starting rabbits this spring and why I have been checking out your videos and others to decide what breed, or breeds I want to go with. Thanks for all the information you share. Love and blessings to your family, Jim
They are very pretty. I just had my very first successful breeding with my new zealands. I am so excited to finally have babies. Good luck with your new bunnies.
Aw, how nice! I love that you traded for the rabbits, too. I wish more people were willing to do that!! I have found that kombucha is a good trading item, actually. Haha We want to raise silver foxes. My sister raised them for some time, and we liked the diversity of purposes with this breed. Many blessings!!
Stumbled on your channel today! Love your presence & excitment! Looking forward to learning more about you, your endeavors and homestead! The value & honesty you all put forward, is very appreciated! Thanks! Gods Blessings and be the Blessing to others ya'll!
Wow, very cool addition! We are looking for some Silver Fox rabbits to start breeding for meat, but they really don't seem to be that prevalent in our area. Just some recently weaned does and a buck that we can handle and get to know us. Most breeders have New Zealands and Californians, and sure they would be sufficient for our needs, but I love how Silver Foxes look and the idea that they are more rare adds a sense of value also. We are on a wait list for a breeder in Festus, but she doesn't have them frequently, and who knows how big that list is? They really are pretty rabbits! Have fun with them!
I'll take the manure. Lol. Native American told me once tan hides in old clothes washer soak, rinse, repeat quite a few time. Using 20 mule team soap. Hmm.
We raise silver fox. The are wonderful meat and we show them. Coats need to be brushed a lot for the best pelts. They do come in 5 colors. Black, blue, lavender, chocolate and white. These are my favorite. They have the best personality out of the 3 breeds we raise.
So I just watched this video of when you got your silver fox rabbits. So so cool. I would love to get a young pair of Silver fox from you this Spring at the farmers market if possible. Please let me if I can do this .
They are beautiful. And will be a great addition to your breeding stock. I would keep at least a trio. That way if one doe fails the other one can breed you a new breeder doe.
Silver fox rabbits are awesome, i used to raise them and may get back into them one of these days had a lot of issue with them dying in the heat of the summer, but very good tempered rabbits out of the hundreds i raised over a few years never had one that was mean. And also she gave you what looks like a nice new zealand. Good luck with the silver fox and the brown ones are chocolates.
Lol, "breeding duck". We're considering getting some silver fox to diversify our genetics. We have tanned some hides using the technique by Good Simple Living's RUclips video. It's work, but worth it, in my opinion. We don't want anything going to waste!
Went back to see this video again. I am getting a trio in a couple weeks and Kevin, I too will be pickling hides. I have been watching this channel and I like how this woman explains how she goes processing her hides. Thought it might help. Have a blessed weekend and Merry Christmas.
Wow, you guys are blessed. Those rabbits look great! We look forward to seeing how this breed works out for you. One day we will have our rabbitry up and running...but finding a good breed may be difficult. Thanks again, you two.
Positive humans as you are, attracting positive vibes, nice
I never realized why I really liked u two. But now I do.... FORD 🚙!!!! Awesomeness
Ha, we have 2. Our farm truck is a 1994 Ford F-250. Runs like a champ, mostly. 😊
Living Traditions Homestead I plan on getting a FORD when I leave California and move to Pennsylvania by year's end. I'm finally doing it!
Holly Bunnies, Good for you Guys. GOD BLESS.
Wow! How sweet of Raylene to bless you with all those rabbits and their cages! What a gift!
God bless you Raylene!
The rabbit dropping are great for the garden.
I love how well you both work together ...... beautiful couple😄

Great rabbits to have on the homestead. I raise these in Hawaii and they are wonderful.

I believe cattle panel would hold up cages or could support vertically.

Wow, very cool addition! We are looking for some Silver Fox rabbits to start breeding for meat, but they really don't seem to be that prevalent in our area.

The rabbits seemed very relaxed, I would have needed a tranquilizer if I was transporting them in the trailer. Good job! Laura
How sweet of her! Beautiful rabbits.
They ARE very nice rabbits!
Exciting you guys. Thanks for sharing.
Presentation, appreciated.
So cute!

Did the sow have her pigs ? Can’t wait to see some piglets
What a blessing!
