Special Guest - Terry Fender, Rabbit Judge

Discussion will be about specifics for meat rabbit pens, rabbit showmanship, and general care and handling of rabbits.  There are several changes in 2012 for 4-H members taking rabbit projects. This clinic is a good resource for Hancock Co. youth with rabbit projects, particularly if you are new to the project.
