Meat Rabbits that aren't breeding HELP!!!!!!

[crazyturkeydesigns]

OH OH OH!! (sorry I get a bit excited) ANNNND It shows you the color gentics!!! Based on what color your rabbit is, and what color their parents are (and you can manually edit it if you know they are a carrier of a recessive color). And you can do hypothetical pairings, and it will tell you the probably outcome of what color the kits will be.

Originally, I was just going to set up an Excel file, but then DH got looking into this stuff and I am sooo glad we got it (obviously )
Okay, seriously done now, I NEED to get off here and go milk LOL

Hmmm, I have been wanting to get Evans for a loooooooooooong time. Maybe after I sell some of these babies I will
Anywho, I keep paper records...I sort of like being able to take everything with me when I go to a show or to another breeders...I've got rating sheets for individual animals, buck/doe records, kit records, papers, etc...but a program would be so much easier!!!!

There's a breeding chart floating around the internet somewhere that's really easy to use...if I find it I will post a link

Have you tried these out? Just curious...I would like to have electronic records and I would like different opinions about programs. The thing I like about Evans software is that it lets you do genetics...do these programs have something similar? I didn't see anything but that doesn't mean they don't.
Sorry about thread hijacking!!

You guys are great I am excited to see what colors I get and thanks on the tip of selling meat rabbits live. All the usda stuff came out as I was getting into rabbits and scared me silly.

I will look into all the links that have been posted.

Dk any recommendations on a dairy goat I have boer and ND


but I think I would like a standard dairy.

I cant see my 3 year old boer letting me milk her or my ND she is 2 and has never been milked either.
how hard is it to learn to milk for me and my goats.

The Evans one has a free version too (or at least had one a year ago). You just can't set it up with your farm name and logo and everything when you print out pedigrees. I think there were some other limitations but I don't remember what they were. We just went with the evans because it was recommended to us by someone else... I don't think we ever even looked into the other ones LOL... we aren't the best at shopping around... I see something I like and just dive

That is a loaded question! Of COURSE I am going to recommend lamanchas, because that is what I have and I love them dearly... buuuut, I suggest getting involved in the goat section here (if you aren't already) and search the archives, this same question is asked quite a bit, and they give a lot of good info on each breed, but what breed you get boils down to what you personally like or have available to you (I set out looking for nubians, came across Lamanchas for sale, and am hooked)
As far as learning how to milk, that is... well a learning experience I have only had the goats a year, and it is so funny looking back at how hard it was for me to get milk to come out in the beginning! I have found that each new goat you milk is a little different, and you may need to take a little different approach, and their teats will all be different and milk out differently. My first goat I milked was 2 and had never been milked or stantion trained before and had little teats, and little orficices and was a kicking fiend, and we just sort of worked at it. I don't see why you couldn't milk your current girls with some training. Now, she can run out of grain and she will just stand chewing her cud till I'm done. But yeah, I'm kind of a newbie at the whole goat thing

Greetings and welcome to BYH @Rabbitbreeder Glad you joined us! We have quite a few active rabbiteers here including meat/pet/pelt/show. The thread you responded to was last posted to way back in October 2011 Honestly, there's only one person on this thread that's still active; @autumnprairie and though she was last on yesterday, she hasn't posted since Oct 2016 and early 2015 before that. (We miss her & hope she's well!) There's a lot of information, experience and knowledge available in the various threads in the rabbit section. Please browse around and make yourself at home! In doing so you'll get to know some of our other members as well through their posts. Please consider taking a moment and posting an introduction in the New Member section so we can welcome you properly! Oh, and as an aside, most of us are picture addicts, so if you'd be so kind as to share some, we'd all be very appreciative. One other thing... It would be really helpful if you'd put your (general) location in your profile as any questions you ask, the answers will often depend on where you're located (climate).

What are their ages? It really depends on their environment and their age, young bucks can be a hit or miss, does can be finicky and not like the buck have any of your does ever had a litter?
