I’m gonna go ahead and say that TODAY, JUNE 29th is the first official day of Summer here in SW Ohio.\n\nHoly Humidity!! 😳🥵\n\nSo I ran out and bought a new fan for the buns, right? I get home, deal with dog chaos (because OMG Mom’s home!) and finally go out to put the fan together and there are NO DIRECTIONS. 😠😤\n\nOkay, I’m a smart woman, I got this. I open everything, lay it all out, triple check for any directions (still no) and get started. Pretty simple, twist this on here, pop that in there, then the pole, the base, and VOILA — 🤨🧐 Something’s not right. The big fan thingy doesn’t sit tight on the pole thingy.\n\n🤬 Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!! 🤬\n\nHOW? There’s no other pieces anywhere, so I (of course) go to look in the empty box and there’s just a crumbled piece of packaging paper. I throw the damn box (you know why) and I hear the slightest bit of a thump and I think to myself — that paper isn’t heavy enough to sound like that, soooo...\n\nSure enough, there was a little ring wrapped in the paper that goes on the fan thingy to make the other thingy fit tightly. 🤦‍♀️\n\nWell, now the problem is that I tightened the base onto the fan too well. It won’t come off so I can put the ring on. 😤😤\n\nSo, now I’m in my room pissed off, waiting for my little tantrum to pass so I can go ask my husband to fix what I messed up, and to be honest... that’s the worst part!!! 🙄

Y’ALL. 🐰💥\n\nWe set a goal of $500 for our 4-H Kids Fund this fair season.\n\nYou didn’t just meet it. You didn’t just pass it. You OBLITERATED it.\n\n$1,000 raised. One THOUSAND dollars. That’s double our goal—smashed into confetti like a wrecking ball through a paper wall.\n\nBecause of YOUR generosity, more kids will get to experience the magic of raising their first rabbit, stepping into the show ring with pride, and learning responsibility, compassion, and work ethic that’ll carry them through life. Kids who have the HEART for 4-H but not the budget? They’re IN now. Hutches, feed, fair fees, quality breeding stock—COVERED.\n\nEvery single dollar came from people who believe what we believe: that a kid + a rabbit + a little guidance = something powerful.\n\nFrom the bottom of our hearts (and from every bunny nose twitch in the barn): THANK YOU. You are the reason no child gets turned away from the show ring because of money.\n\nWe’re not done. The fair season is just getting started. Share this story. Tell somebody who loves supporting kids. Let’s keep this momentum HOPPING! 🐇✨

If you’ve spent any time around intact male rabbits (bucks), you’ve probably encountered spraying at some point. It’s a natural behavior tied to hormones—bucks spray to mark territory, establish dominance, and even show interest in a doe. While it’s completely normal, it can definitely become... less than ideal in a rabbitry setting.\n\nSpraying can create sanitation challenges, strong odors, and extra cleaning work. It can also affect nearby rabbits, especially if they’re constantly being marked. Urine scald on spraying bucks is one example of the health concerns spraying can cause. It is a painful condition involving redness, inflammation, and fur loss on the hindquarters due to urine contact. In a breeding or production-focused rabbitry, these are important factors to consider when deciding which animals to keep in your program.\n\nThis is where culling comes into the conversation. Culling isn’t about punishment—it’s about making thoughtful, responsible decisions for the overall health, manageability, and goals of your herd. If a buck consistently sprays excessively despite proper housing, spacing, and management, he may not be the best fit for a breeding program. I’ve only recently learned that many breeders cull spraying bucks due to the health risks they can impose on the rest of the herd.\n\nBy selecting for calmer temperaments and more manageable behaviors, you’re improving not only your daily workflow but also the long-term quality of your lines. Many breeders choose to prioritize bucks that are productive, healthy, and easier to handle—because those traits matter just as much as conformation.\n\nOf course, every rabbitry is different. Some breeders tolerate a little spraying, while others prefer to eliminate it entirely through selective culling. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer—just what works best for your setup and goals.\n\nAt the end of the day, it comes down to balance: understanding natural behaviors while making practical decisions that support your animals and your operation.\n\nHow do you handle spraying in your rabbitry—do you work around it, or select against it?
