The rabbit show was held Wednesday at the 2014 Brown County Youth Fair with breeding rabbits judged at 3:00 p.m. and finished up with the market rabbits.
Frank Farrow, an American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA) judge from Lufkin Texas, made sure that participants learned tips on how to show their rabbits and basics about their particular breeds. Farrow has been a judge since 1976 and has been a rabbit breeder for 50 years. He raises Californians and his wife raises Mini Lops. He is a member of the ARBA, Californian Rabbit Specialty Club (CRSC), and Texas Rabbit Breeders Association (TRBA).
Grand and Reserve Champions were chosen for both Meat and Breeding categories. Junior and Senior Showmanship Awards were also presented.
