Meet Jammer

 

Every so often, every breeder whether you are breeding show rabbits or meat pens, needs to go outside their barn and add some new blood to their herd just to keep it genetically healthy. Because my friend Steve Coyne (Texas Bunny Barn Blog) and I have primarily the same breeding stock we both decided it was time to introduce some new bloodlines.

While we both breed for meat only (no show rabbits), it was time to add some new pedigreed bloodlines into or herds. You may ask, Why would you want pedigreed rabbits if you are simply breeding for meat pens? It's simple really, good breeding stock produces good healthy babies. While neither of us show rabbits, we take the time and effort to try and produce show quality meat pen rabbits.

I will be honest, we eat most of what we breed, so if you are feeding your family it only makes sense to breed the best quality animal you can. No one wants to or should buy, butcher, and feed a sickly animal to their family and friends. Anyway, this post is to introduce you to Jammer one of my two new bucks that will going into my herd. I am excited about this little guy and hope he will be a real producer for us.

This white New Zealand Buck that I purchased from breeder Bonita Hunt located in Honey Grove, Texas has a strong Basgil Borden bloodline as you can tell by his pedigree. Bontia produces some awesome looking show rabbits who win many times when they are entered at the shows. Like Magnum, for the rest of his life Jammer is going to be a ladies man…

If you are interested in quality meat breeders and we do not have anything available here at TAP Rabbitry, then I always direct my cutomers to my friend and mentor Steve Coyne. I have listed his information taken from the Texas Rabbit Breeder directory. In addition, I wanted to just leave a plug for fellow breeder Bontia Hunt. If you are looking for top quality show rabbits check out her herd.
