A little about my bunny life

[Small’s Bunny Barn]

Hello all!

I am fairly new to raising bunnies so any tips are welcome! My herd is growing quickly as you can imagine.
I live in SE Iowa. I currently have a total 34 buns, of which 26 are ready to hop on to a new adventure. I am seeking advice on how to go about “advertising” these guys (does and bucks).
I have recently looked into meat rabbits but it seems to me there are only a couple breeds for this?
I make it a point and a priority to keep their environment clean and keep their bellies fed. (My family says I spend more time with the rabbits than I do them.)
I appreciate any advice and tips on enhancing this journey.
Thank you!

Love seeing your bunnies. I'm totally inexperienced with rabbits, so I'll let others like @peteyfoozer or @secuono chime in.

I used to be a member of a local rabbit breeders club. You could check with the American Rabbit Breeders Association to see if there are clubs in your area. Ag Fairs are a good resource for selling rabbits too.

Thank you. I will look into that as well.
My issue is I don’t know what breed they are. Everyone wants to know their breed but I sadly didn’t ask the people I got them from. I asked a group on fb and the only couple comments I got were they are mutts. That doesn’t help me much, lol. Any suggestions to figure this out?

American Rabbit Breeders Association has pictures of all the registered breeds. Also check into 4-H clubs in the area.
Look at ARBA website first.
