Well this is what I do other than have some chickens
Thought many of you would enjoy this:
The Showroom Floor:
Well over 1000 rabbits and 250 exhibitors. We were in a HUGE barn in the Vermont State Fair grounds.
Jersey Woolies TAKE ME TO THE SHOW!
Judge "setting up a rabbit" basically he's posing it for evaluation. He runs his hands over it, evaluates the fur, bone, and over all type/conformation:
A very cute Siamese Sable buck Jersey Wooly:
Judging Netherland Dwarf you will notice they're all lined up in those "coops" they get ranked in there. This particular breed gets shown by colors, then by the group. So for example Self Group is: Black, Chocolate, Lilac, and Blue. So they compete against the same color, then the best of those colors compete against each other for group.
Linda Cassella, a great friend holding one of her English Angoras....and yes, that is where high quality angora wool comes from. The rabbit looks enormous, but in reality it's only 5.5 pounds.
Best in Show Choosing (Linda's English Angora won):
