In this video we address a question that we get asked is "Why do we raise rabbits?" If you are like us and live on a small farm/homestead and have been debating whether or not to get rabbits, here's a few reasons we think you should give it a try! Tame rabbit is a very healthy and prolific source of protein that, if raised correctly, can essentially pay for themselves and then some! Learn how we make a profit from our rabbits!

Ok, I know I'm off point here but I have to comment. I am an old television director from the old days. Your video, from my perspective is excellent! Technically it is clean, perfectly exposed, stabile and very well edited. Your use of a technique know as "cutting on action" is perfect. Examples here are when you leave a shot you walk off frame, followed by a transition dissolve to the next shot where you walk into the frame. The dissolve is a perfect transition because it "implies" a passage of time. It all moves seamlessly and is very aesthetically pleasing. I assume your husband, and my apologies for not remembering your names, is the cameraman. The stability of the video is excellent! I would think it was all on a tripod. I know that most shots, if not all were hand held but the stability, focal lengths of the lense and the exposure are definitely worthy of a professional cinematographer. Then again I also know the power of a decent iPhone. Your farm is a textbook example of order, efficiency and excellent planning. Well of course it is. There is a United States Marine in charge.

@SawyerRidgeFarm 4 года назад

Frank Cox wow! I’m kind of speechless.... lol. First of all thank you SO much for your very kind words about the quality of our video. It’s comments like this that make us feel good about what we’re doing and gives us encouragement to keep going. We are very much newbies to the RU-vid world and with that comes so many struggles of learning to shoot different angles, how to edit videos correctly and aesthetically pleasing to our audience etc. So, I am amazed that someone who knows their stuff about editing and video quality would compliment our video! ❤️ My husband, Jacob, was indeed the camera man for this video, and he appreciates the compliment as well! Thank you again, sir, for your comment. God Bless! 🙂

@BigFrankVideo 4 года назад

@@SawyerRidgeFarm Yes, you are definitely doing an excellent job of shooting and editing your video. I know you are taking extra time to plan it out. That is the key! Plan it out. So many times in my career I had sales agents tell the client, " Don't worry. We'll fix it in post." What!!???!! Salesmen! You have the natural instinct for this video thing. And you have the discipline for your farm. You will succeed!

Auntie Ann we do take a couple precautions with our rabbits in the summer heat. So far (knock on wood) we haven’t lost any to the heat. One thing we do in these cages that you see in the video is put a tile in each cage. They love to lay on a cool tile when it’s super hot out. 👍

@Jaynes-Path 4 года назад

Loved the bloopers, lol. Made for a nice lighthearted ending, lol We had rabbits as kids, but not for meat. I had a large northern Cottentail that was bigger than those you raise. We got them off a farm much like yours. Our hutch was much the same with a hard wood nesting box attached to the back, wrapped on the outside by wire mesh. More to keep critters out than rabbits in. The nesting box had a false back divider that didn't go all the way to the top protecting a light bulb which was for warmth in the winter, We also had 1 on the ground so the bunny could run and eat grass etc that we moved around. My father would use the droppings in his gardens. When we built a hutch and a run for my daughter's rabbits we just built it the way we knew how. Funny to think that in nearly 40 years or more, the basic design hasn't changed much, lol

You folks are so creative ! I am looking forward to what you come up with doing with the bunny furs. Perhaps a pillow with one side bunny fur , or a coin purse . You could sell your bunny items and cedar items and be one of the most interesting you tubers. Forget the t-shirts , everyone is doing that.Or have t-shits with a picture of a bunny under a cedar tree. Just some ideas. When will we know who won the coaster sets ? If I did not win, can I order a set of 4 coasters and 4 coasters without clear coat f(or my lingerie drawer and sweaters) . Cedar is such a nice smell and keeps moths from eating your wool sweaters in the summer . I think you need to stamp the back of the coasters with your farm or you tube logo as well.

Sorry if this question has been answered but I didn't see it in the comments but what was the stick that you put in the cages when you were feeding them for. It was in the beginning of the video. Just curious. I loved your video and it was super helpful. We've been thinking of moving to Oklahoma too and I'm so happy that people like you and Arm's Family, Dutch and others have been sharing such great videos. Thanks and have a blessed day.

@SawyerRidgeFarm 4 года назад

Beautiful rabbits. My uncle had a small rabbit operation on the road to the farm house. Hunters would come and pay a small fee to hunt his wooded area away from the dairy operation. Those that just wanted a day away. If they didn't actually get a rabbit, they would choose one, buy it and my uncle would process it for them to take home.

Yes, we test to make sure each watering nipple is working properly every day.

@johnreinburg859 4 года назад

I would like to see anything you do with your rabbits.

@SawyerRidgeFarm 4 года назад

John Reinburg thanks for watching! A rabbit hutch or a pen like the long one that you see in the video will be in the works very soon. So stay tuned! 😃

If you haven’t heard of Good Simple Living & Homesteading, check them out. She has some really great videos on rabbits and a really good one on tanning the hides. Good to know where I can get rabbits when I’m ready to start raising them too. Woo hoo!

@SawyerRidgeFarm 4 года назад

Paulla Wells yes! I love GSL’s channel! That’s actually the method that I’m using to tan my hide. So far, everything’s going good! 👍😊

@PaullaWells 4 года назад

Sawyer Ridge Farm - That’s awesome! I’m super glad to hear that!

Like I said last time, live the bloopers! Secondly, is that a licking type system on feeders for rabbits? If so why do you need it?

@SawyerRidgeFarm 4 года назад

Tricia Acevedo thanks for watching and supporting the channel! The black tubing that you see on the cages is their automatic watering system. Each cage has its own line that comes off the main line and has a rabbit nipple attachment on it.

Grew instructional video!

Plus will y'all be showing the process of tanning the hides?

@SawyerRidgeFarm 4 года назад

We hope to show that process once we get some hides collected.
