Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 5 new videos every week! Tuesday through Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we transition from city dwellers to full time homesteaders!

i HAVE A SILVER FOX IN THE OVEN AS I WATCH THIS! Its my first harvest of my livestock that i have been raising for the past 5 months. i am up to about 40 rabbits between silver fox and blue american both heritage breeds. I cleaned the meat in an intense lightning storm in my covered porch. it was a very surreal and rewarding effort and i cant wait to enjoy my efforts. well off to check on the oven!

Fyi, i saw a Joel Saladin video about having rabbits in greenhouse, i thought or small cattle panel house. Raise rabbits off ground 3 ft or so. Then raise chickens down below. Could use wood chip bedding. Allow pellets to fall Mix chicken feed with pellets. Chickens eat. No rabbit mess on ground. Would have to clean up every once in a while. Great combiner of space and location to feed, water, and check on.

We were fortunate to find a breeder who was ending their ‘career’ with rabbit breeding who was selling off cages and equipment. In our area EVERYTHING is somehow ‘rare’ and ‘dear’ when it comes to price for sale…but we got into rabbit breeding with 10 does,1 buck, NZW’s and 20 cages all for about $700. The nice part is not the paying of the start up or the work in converting the barn but that a dressed rabbit in our area sells for $54.00 properly sectioned and ready to cook. I think I would rather live further out where things are cheaper but when you get older you need to be within a shorter distance of a good hospital etc. life goes on.

Lol, "breeding duck". We're considering getting some silver fox to diversify our genetics. We have tanned some hides using the technique by Good Simple Living's KZfaq video. It's work, but worth it, in my opinion. We don't want anything going to waste!

Silver fox rabbits are awesome, i used to raise them and may get back into them one of these days had a lot of issue with them dying in the heat of the summer, but very good tempered rabbits out of the hundreds i raised over a few years never had one that was mean. And also she gave you what looks like a nice new zealand. Good luck with the silver fox and the brown ones are chocolates.

They are beautiful. And will be a great addition to your breeding stock. I would keep at least a trio. That way if one doe fails the other one can breed you a new breeder doe.

@gcotton78 6 жыл бұрын

Wow, very cool addition! We are looking for some Silver Fox rabbits to start breeding for meat, but they really don't seem to be that prevalent in our area. Just some recently weaned does and a buck that we can handle and get to know us. Most breeders have New Zealands and Californians, and sure they would be sufficient for our needs, but I love how Silver Foxes look and the idea that they are more rare adds a sense of value also. We are on a wait list for a breeder in Festus, but she doesn't have them frequently, and who knows how big that list is? They really are pretty rabbits! Have fun with them!
