    #45 Raising TAMUK Rabbits in the Texas Heat with Jordan | Rebel Food Systems

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of The Rabbitry Center Podcast, I sit down with Jordan from Rebel Food Systems to talk all things TAMUK rabbits—and what it really looks like raising them in the Texas heat. TAMUK rabbits were developed for performance in tough climates, but how do they actually hold up in real-world conditions? Jordan shares her firsthand experience raising these rabbits in high temperatures, including what’s worked, what hasn’t, and where they truly stand out. We get into breeding strategies, what to expect from TAMUK litters, and how they compare to other meat rabbit breeds when it comes to growth, efficiency, and overall hardiness. If you’re trying to build a consistent meat supply or improve your rabbitry system, this conversation is packed with practical insight. If you’ve been curious about TAMUK rabbits—or you’re raising rabbits in a hotter climate—this episode will give you a real-world perspective you can actually use. Thanks again to Jordan for taking the time to come on and talk rabbits.

    #41 Winter at the Rabbitry: Growing Fodder, Tackling Taxes, and Building for Spring

    Send us Fan Mail Winter at the rabbitry is when the real work happens. With deep snow, subzero temperatures, and in-person sales slowed down, this season becomes the perfect time to focus on systems that save money, reduce feed costs, and prepare the business for spring. In this episode, we break down how we grow fodder during the winter months, why it works so well when nothing is growing outside, and what to watch out for if you’re just getting started. We also dive into helpful tax tips for rabbitry owners, including tracking expenses, understanding payables and receivables, and planning ahead so you’re not paying more tax than you need to. We talk through why we’ve chosen to shift rabbit sales to the spring, summer, and fall, and how winter has become our season for education, planning, and building the business side of the rabbitry. You’ll also hear updates on new courses, upcoming content, and what we’re working on behind the scenes this year. If you’re looking to use winter more intentionally — to lower costs, stay compliant, and set yourself up for a strong season ahead — this episode is for you.
