2010 4H Fair Season

Seems crazy, I know, but 4H'rs need to start thinking about lining up their rabbits for the 2010 4H Fair Season. I already have 4H'rs contacting me.

I've noted on the Nestbox Page, the date those kits would turn Senior, to help you if you are looking for fair Juniors.

Give your bunnies a check over and verify they haven't picked up a DQ since your fair (pulled a toe nail, eye infection that may have caused eye spots, etc). Find out when your rabbit show is, and do the math to determine when you need to start breeding to get Juniors by fair time. Review your fair rules for possess-by-dates, etc. Some fairs require pedigree's, others do not. Start doing your research - look at your pedigree's to determine the lines behind your rabbits so if a breeder asks, you can answer readily. Let us know what you are looking for!

We had several 4H'rs do well with GBF hollands in 2009:

Best In Show - Elkhart County, IN (Kairah Pippenger) - GBF's Annie ***** BOS Elkhart County, IN (Kairah Pippenger) - GBF's Jessie ***** BOB DeKalb County, IN (Leah Hefty) - GBF's Zeus ***** BOB Henry County, OH (Weaver family) - GBF's Theodore ***** BOB Wayne County, IN - GBF's Tobey
