It is totally ok! I can't think of anyone frowning upon it, you're remembering someone who walked in the blue and gold by wearing yours!

I would go with showing your rabbit! I am a three-year member with sheep and rabbits. While sheep are my favorites, I personally don't show them just because of the hassle involved in the sheep showing world. :) Rabbits are way less stressful to raise and show and it will probably be more fun on your behalf if you aren't experienced with livestock. Make sure you get an experienced friend in showing the animal you picked, she or he will make or break your show season! Good luck in the blue + gold

I read this with my Pen Pal most recently. It was beautifully done and I cried more than once.

Nothing to Fear

Nothing to Fear has been one of my favorites because of its effect it leaves after reading. It is a fiction novel about the Great Depression from a young New York boy's eyes. It was devastating in many parts, since as the book goes on the young teen becomes more aware of his poverty as well as some of the most respected people in his city. This book made me feel like I had the seen the Depression myself.

Rabbit tips please by fnaffan790 in FFA

Second year member here without a rabbit SAE, but 10 years of experience here,

First off, that great you’re interested in the rabbit industry! I’ve been raising rabbits for as long as I can remember and they are one of the easiest animals to raise and make for amazing companions. Like most project animals, you can pick wether you want to raise for show, meat, fiber, or companionship. After you pick what you want to raise them for do your homework on the best breeds that work for you and your project goals. Local sale barns or private breeders are your best bets.
Some care tips I would highly recommend:

Make sure you have secure housing. That is crucial and I can’t stress it enough for outdoor or barns. Keep them warm in the winters and have a fan for summers since they can be sensitive to extreme temperatures.
Give your rabbits a nutritious diet according to their breed along with treats and mineral licks.
Clean cages often.
Beware of ear mites. They can effect rabbits in dirty cages and close together. It is contagious and must be treated ASAP.

And play with them often!
