Beginning Rabbits

April 7^th, 2009

Important Dates to Remember:

Ø      4-H Extravaganza May 2^nd, 2009: Entries are due by April 17^th, 2009. I’ve attached an entry for anyone who is interested. You can enter your educational posters!! I will try and organize it so that everyone’s posters make it to the Extravaganza.

Ø      Mendocino Rabbit Show May 9^th, 2009: I will e-mail you all a copy of this if you do not already have it. I will be judging showmanship with a very good friend of mine named Pat. I would like everyone to try and come to the show, even if you don’t enter a rabbit. Also if anyone would like to help out with the show that would be great!

Record books: I have given everyone a pink piece of paper that has all of our meetings for the year listed on it. This is what your project sheet will look like. Please try and add to the summaries with your own thoughts. For example if you brought your rabbit to a meeting add that in.

French Lop Babies: We’ll be looking at Madison’s baby French Lops and figure out what color they are, what sex they are and we’ll work on a little judging.

Showmanship Practice Time!! We will be working on showmanship for the rest of our meeting.
