The AppleYard New Zealand White rabbit is the result of over 50 years of careful and selective breeding from a combined bloodline of this area's most discriminating stewarts of rabbit breeding.
In Actuallity, the AppleYard Farm warren consist of dual bloodlines, the oldest of which is know for its consistency in producing large litters. They are also bred with a proclivity for rapid weight gain, and reach market weights within an eight to ten week period with a thrifty feed-to-weight gain conversion ratio.
AppleYard's New Zealand White's are the ideal meat producing rabbit, a lineage with an indemnity backed by years of careful selection.
The second strain of NZW at AppleYard reflects an effort at out-crossing to establish a more showy line of the breed to satisfy those who are more concerned with the show ring possibilities.
The second bloodline is the result of traveling the rabbit show circuit to find the very best specimens with special attention to fur and type and purchasing the best of the lot.
