One Big Honkin' Rabbit - For Those That Raise Them
We were at the State Fair yesterday and they had the state winner's for rabbits there. One was a Spotted Giant rabbit that weighed over 12 pounds. There were several other breeds there that all pushed the 10-11 and 12 pound marks but this bad boy was the biggest. He looked like a flippin' puma.
I'll bet if you walked out to his pen with a knife he'd just roll an eye at you and say, "Don't even think about it." Then go back to sleep. If I had hold of him and he got ticked I'm sure I'd be looking for a place to put him down. I don't think I've ever seen a rabbit that big.
They also had some really nice meat rabbits at the show. Not sure I'd want to be in that line up if I were a rabbit but they were all white and actually pretty rabbits.
They had just done the judging on Sunday so almost all of the rabbits were still there. I didn't realize it but they have to be ear tattooed to be shown. One had a butterfly tattoo.....bazinga!
Here's a list of all the rules in case you're interested.
