4-H Piedmont Rabbit Project
Rowan County Cooperative Extension, along with Cabarrus, Catawba & Iredell County Cooperative Extension, hosted the 4-H Piedmont Rabbit Project. This project was led by the Livestock and 4-H Extension Agents in all four counties and involved a total of 26 youths. Rowan County was well represented in this project, with 15 youth participants.
Participants could sign up to show their own rabbit or they could borrow a rabbit that was provided to them. As part of this project, youths attended two learning sessions where they learned about proper nutrition and care for their rabbits and proper showing techniques.
On May 4, all 4-H’ers came together in Rowan County for the 4-H Piedmont Rabbit Project Show. Two judges were present to judge each of the rabbits on their physical traits (known as a type show). The judges also judged showmanship, where they critiqued each youth in their rabbit showing abilities.
The results of the rabbit show for Rowan County 4-H exhibitors included:
