When many people think of 4-H livestock shows, they’re likely to think of cattle, swine, poultry, and sheep. But rabbits are also becoming a popular animal to show. Marion County has over 75 rabbits at the Marion County Fair this year. Jade Owen is a member of the Friendly Guys and Gals 4-H club of Knoxville. She has shown rabbits for nine years. She says that in hot weather like we have now, she puts ice bottles in the cages of her rabbits to keep them cool. She says that she enjoys teaching younger children tips of showing rabbits, like how to make the rabbit’s coat of fur look its best.
