Show Rabbits at the Fair
The excitement of showing rabbits at the fair is undeniable. Rabbits are a wonderful choice for many because they are more manageable and require less space than many other types of livestock. The fair offers an opportunity for young people to bond with their animals and learn valuable life skills. Come to the fair this year and watch the fruit of their labor!

Attached is The Rabbit Fitting and Showing guide published by Michigan State University. It is an excellent resource for understanding the steps to rabbit showmanship in Michigan. This is the same guide used at the Newaygo County Fair. We will be covering the steps during the Rabbit Workshop on Friday, May 19th. This is a 20 page document. Unfortunately, we do not have the resources to print copies for everyone, so if you need a paper copy you will need to print one out.![]()

Note: a word of caution regarding the use of online video resources for showmanship - not all showmanship sequences, or steps, are the same for Michigan as other states. If you are going to watch and use videos to learn showmanship make sure the video is for Michigan showmanship requirements.![]()
