Californians anyone?

[Sparky1975]

Hello all! This is my first post, I am new here. I have been checking into getting some rabbits for meat and show. I have done quite a bit of research, and have decided to start with, and hopefully stay with Californians.

I am looking for a top bloodline/breeder who can help me obtain my starting stock. Pedigree, papers and show quality.


As I would also like to take my daughter and do some shows, as I get going.

I have been getting everything ready to aquire a starting stock of four. I am leaning towards 2 does, one a senior and 2 young bucks as well.

I have 4 cages, all four are 30 x 36" and I am going to be building a large wooden shed / leantoo and will be hanging my cages, and adding a couple grow out cages. I wont be selling, not that I know of, mainly just trying to develop nicer and nicer animals, while the rest will be either in the freezer, crock pot, or any number of healthy dishes.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of a breeder who has like top top notch animals, and is willing to ship? I dont mind paying whatever it is going to cost for premium animals, along with shipping etc.

Thank you all in advance for bearing with me as I ramble on.

You should get your daughter involved in showing if she's interested. Many kids who show in 4-H and FFA are able to earn some good money for college.

As far as breeders, have you been to the ARBA website and looked up Californian breeders? There is also a specialty club for the breed and you can find some breeders listed there also...I see some listed for Iowa on both sites.
