How do you utilize this kind of sheep? Can you use the hair? Or are they just meat. They look like the bighorn sheep up in Loomis.

I had Flemish Giants in Tonasket when we lived there, and they are all negative cash flow.
The housing is enormous, the feeders, etc had to be big or they cannot get their heads in to feed, and the cages all have to be reinforced to support the weight, then they take forever to mature, about twice as long as any other rabbit, off the top of my head seems like it was 1 1/2 years before they could be bred.
I had no trouble breeding them, they just ate forever like a small horse would.
They are not pets, they get BIG.
And rabbit food is expensive, and the alternative is to let them browse free...and then you never see them again.
They are also not pretty rabbits, looks like a big hare only fatter.
I do not advise anyone to raise these for food or pets...heartsland rabbits NICE BUNNIES!!!!http://bestsmileys.com/love2/3.gif
Well done, I love the small wheaten -looking bunnie....where were you before here or is here your home ?
Thank you! I have worked really hard on my bunnies
I'm hoping that little buck turns out nice!
I've have lived here my whole life!

My DH has a similar story. HE personally was not allowed pets, only his mother, and the dogs were hers, but him and his brother did all the work. My DH finally got his first pet as a gift for his 30th B-day, to bad Dh doesnt like cats, cause that what was given to him. He got his first dog as a tip while delivering Pizza two years ago. She's an Aussie / Rottie mix, and is the biggest love, but OH so protective! Great dog! So now we have three dogs, an 11 year old Chow / german shepard mix "Dusty" She is my baby, then there is Wheazy our mini Dachsund, and Kona my DH's dog. We are expecting an "oop's" litter from Wheazy, but at least they are pure bred and both parents are from show stock and registered... Ugg... Puppies are due in less than two weeks... They are due aprox. around the 6th of November... Yeay happy Birthday to me! I get pups as an early gift from the dogs...
We also have two foster mares who should be leaving mid November, then our two personal equines Lacy and Teagan... Then the four pullets who are holding out on me I swear it! I'M STILL waiting on eggs! Grrr!!!
Silly girls need to figure it out. I'm SICK of store bought eggs... Oh and then there are tjhe 8 or so chicks I will be picking up from Illia when they are ready.
Ok I'll stop rambleing now. lol
Cheryl !!! The wyandotte sisters are still cranking out a egg a day...and some are double yolkers, I have wormed them and have them on great feed...Out of all 75 of my birds, these 2 were the only ones laying for a while...OH!
And they have come to accept and respect a rooster !
Their eggs have big targets, and so on it goes...they are a delight
Want them back now ????
Their backs are muddy from mounting

My experience with rabbits....I would agree 100%. Flemish giants are actually too big. I do not remember all the bunnies out there, it has been too long, but I remember that Californians are good. My french lop were actually good sized. There are a lot more in this size that are really good meat rabbits, but I cannot remember them. I used to be so good at this.
Oh, btw, asked the DH about raising rabbits to eat - his response - NO WAY. They are too cute to eat. So the idea of sheep is out. I told him cows started out cute too...he tells me "yep", can't bring my self to killing them. I asked about going to Safeway and purchasing - his comment - there is no face on a pkg of burger from Safeway.

No, I love rambeling and learning about others. Exciting on the puppies...how fun. Oh, and btw...there was a past topic on biting dogs - the only dog I have ever been bitten by is a dauchsy - at a show - and I had asked permission to pet. I put my hand forward for her to sniff me, she latched onto my finger and I was holding a dauschund in the air. I have known some nice pit bulls (would never ever have one and I don't trust them), known rotties, dobbies (I knew a nerd dobbie - pocket protector and all). Crazy.
My girls are holding out on me also. I have 10 girls and are only getting 4 eggs a day. I think they know they will not be culled as they are pets with perks. DH would never cull his girls.
My DH came from an alcoholic/abusive famly. His mother died when he was young. Long, icky story. But anyway, my Spuds-dog brought him around and one day he comes to me and says: "I want a dog". I say great, what kind. "I want a pomeranian". My response: "Huh?". Mind you DH is 6 somethin' and over 200 lbs and is "tough-guy" personality. "Really, a Pom?". Yep, that is what he wanted...so we got Tonka. If I wasn't careful, he would bring home every lost puppy and kitten and chicken and goat and piggy.....etc, he could (he definitely would be a hoarder).
We have foster cared for kittens - from our local rescue - many summers in a row. I had - at one time - 11 bottle baby kittens - all from different litters. We are taking a break from this this summer. I understand you helping out the rescue ranch....I try to help as much as I can too, here local.
What an awesome story !

meat and weed eaters.. they shed their hair you do not shear them, they are built like a deer, very fast and can take care of themselves pretty good. very wild if you do not raise them from lambs, they kid really easy, never have had to help them.. Alot of folks raise the rams for thier horns (sell them to hunting farms).. we just use them to eat the weeds ;-).. sell off the lambs every Sept..

Your California bunny is pretty. Right now all we have is a generic "mutt" bunny. We have her as a pet and for fertilizer for my garden. We actually built a chicken-style run around the area where her cage is so that we can let her out to play. Today she was working on her tunnel to China. Little does she know that I go in and fill it in.
We have her hutch down low and use a board for her to climb in and out. As it gets dark, she is just like the chickens, she goes back in her hutch. I go in and lock it up. She has had a nice day of playing and now she is safe and locked up until the next time I let her out. It is actually fun to watch her running around doing the crazy bunny kicking in her run.
On a different note: I have all BR girls and one lone little Cochin that I was given. I let them out of the run to ravage the remains of my veggie garden, it is so funny to see that little Cochin (Hannah) fluff all up, wings out, head down, running her fluffy little butt off attacking one of the BR or doing the whole chicken happy dance. Neck feathers out, head bouncing, chest bumping. It is hilarious. Hannah can always hold her own against the BRs.
not very often...I have thought of doing my own cartoon, though...what do you think ?
