Located in Fairfield, Texas, we are producers of New Zealand Whites and Californians for 4H and FFA exhibitors as well as commercial meat production.   Our focus has been to combine the qualities from both *types* of rabbits.  This has resulted in improving the production of our meat pen does and achieving a much better carcass for our meat customers.  Although we still maintain a *strain or line of rabbit* producing five pound fryers at 56 days, we do not maintain a large number of these does and bucks.  Our rabbits are developed to produce five pound fryers around 70 days as this is the normal weight and age limits for most county fair exhibitions in Texas. 

As a result of adhering more to the standard of perfection for the New Zealand breed, the meat yield has improved.  When processing fryers for our personal use, the yield is around the 60% range (and often higher).  

A note regarding our production:

Our does will not kindle and wean ten to twelve kits per litter and do this eight times per year.  Our goals are to achieve an average of seven litters per year from a doe who is able to wean seven to nine kits per litter.  We have does who kindle eight to nine times per year but this is not the norm.  Breeders in other climates might be able to achieve this.  Our summers in Texas can be harsh which translates to slightly lowered production for both the doe and the buck.  Frequent weather extremes are common and very stressful for the rabbits.
