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

    Send us a text 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.

    #40 Side Hustles That Work: Business Lessons from Vending Machines w/ Brian Delaney

    Send us a text While our podcast typically focuses on rabbitry topics and services, this conversation fits right in. Like a rabbitry, a vending machine business is a spare-time operation that can supplement your income if you’re willing to put in the work and run it like a real business.  In this episode, I sit down with Brian Delaney to talk about starting a vending machine side hustle. Brian recently launched his own operation in his spare time and walks us through the startup process, the day-to-day responsibilities, and what it really takes to keep it running.

    #38 Homestead Discipline: Raising Rabbits With Purpose (Plus Two Deer Hunting Stories)

    Send us a text In this episode, we tackle one of the biggest challenges new rabbit raisers face: how early excitement turns into hesitation, and how domestication syndrome leads beginners to treat livestock like pets. We explain why processing day becomes such a mental roadblock—and how to avoid that from day one. To wrap it up, I share two hunting stories—Juan’s first deer and the late-season 8-point I tagged during muzzleloader. Reminders of why we raise our own food and practice these skills.  Juan's First Deer Late Season Buck in a Blizzard 5 Steps to Start Your Rabbit Program the Right WayBuild Your Setup FirstCreate a Processing Station EarlyMap Out a Breeding Schedule Track EverythingSet a Clear First Goal  5 Steps to Stay Consistent (and Avoid the Pet Rabbit Trap)Use Your Processing Station Often Monthly use builds confidence and keeps your program moving.Review Records Weekly Seeing progress keeps you motivated and focused.Maintain Equipment Sharp knives and solid cages prevent procrastination.Stick to Your Breeding Calendar Missed dates slow the whole system, so stay on schedule.Remember Your “Why” Food security, self-sufficiency, and a full freezer will keep you committed.Support the show COMMENTS & QUESTIONS? bobby@therabbitrycenter.com We'd love to hear from you! ____________________________ Check out The Rabbitry Center's Store!
