CCF Rabbitry at Cardinal Clover Farms

Running a little behind on this post. Gretchen had a good showing on Friday at the Muscle Max commercial show in Decatur, Illinois, winning 1st place meat pen, 1st place roaster and 1st place single fryer!

We had the opportunity to attend the 2025 Californian National show this year to try and defend or repeat our Best of breed from 2024. This year our 6-8 buck took home Best Opposite S*x, up to an extremely nice Jr Doe. With the recent crazy weather in Ohio and our busy schedules, we our overwhelmed with success of our rabbits. Thanks to the Cal mafia for hosting and all competitors who made the trip to compete!

For those 1st time kids looking at getting their first meat pen or rabbit, Tractor Supply has their Dumor cage kit on sale for $48 this week. Good value for all those new kids just getting into rabbits!

It’s Fair Market Rabbit Reservation time this year! Please reach out to reserve/order your fair rabbits. We are taking orders now!

Wow, what a great second day of shows in Marion, Ohio. Our 6-8 doe that took BIS yesterday, took both B and C shows Best in Show today in the youth shows as well!

We took the hometown Best in Show tonight for youth. Thanks to the Premier Rabbit & Cavy club for bringing the Yuletide Extravaganza ARBA show to Marion Ohio! More shows tomorrow!

We’ve had an awesome time at the 101st ARBA Convention and Show in Louisville, KY last night and today. I got to spend the show helping with the Youth Californian breed show with all the great youth from all over the country. Last night, Gretchen took 5th place Meat pen out of 57 pens and was the highest placed Californian pen and then 3rd place roaster overall as well as the highest Cal roaster. Then tonight, we attended the National Californian Club banquet where Gretchen received her 1st place meat pen sweepstakes and 6th place overall seeepstakes award. She also picked up Cole’s 5th place fur sweepstakes award since he couldn’t attend. We love our Californian family and all our rabbit families!

Breed your meet rabbits today for the NYE show in Springfield Ohio! Bring your meat pen to a show and have a reason to breed your does over the fall/winter!!!

For our 1st year showing at the Ohio State Fair, we had a pretty solid showing.

Gretchen managed to win the 15-16 year old Rabbit Judging Contest and took the Overall best score for all age groups bringing home the hardware with the chair!

Gretchen’s Californian Junior Doe took 1st place in class and her Single Fryers ended up 5th and 19th out of over 120 fryers.

Gretchen and Julianne both ended up with meat pens in the top 30 earning each of them a payout from the OMRPA.

Overall a great week with some of our favorite rabbit breeders and friends!
