Our Stock
We raise pedigreed Silver Fox rabbits.They are an endangered heritage breed- it is estimated that there are more giant pandas alive today than these beautiful rabbits. We are dedicated to conserving them and have a number of unrelated bloodlines. Silver Foxes are a large meat rabbit, with bucks ideally weighing 10 lbs and does 12 lbs. They have a unique coat- kits are born solid colored and get the white hairs known as silvering as they mature. Their coat stands on end if petted from rump to head, and stays that way until stroked in the opposite direction. they are known as good mothers with good sized litters.
We treat them as a homestead breed with the guidance of The Livestock Conservancy, and select for a true meat rabbit with excellent mothering characteristics and cold hardiness. We also use the ARBA standard of perfection, although we do not show our rabbits. As they are part of a working farm they are not handled extensively or treated as pets, yet we do select for docile animals that are healthy, hardy and easy to work with.
All photos are of rabbits at liberty as we do not teach them to pose.
We are members of the American Rabbit Breeder's Association as well as the National Silver Fox Rabbit Club.
