****** About Living Traditions Homestead ******

Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.

We put out 2 new videos every week! Wednesday and Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

A farmer who farms for meat, my golden rule is treat the animals with the most respect you can give them. After all, you are sacrificing their life for your own gain. Just treat them better.

Listen, you all are THE reason I expanded my small farm to raising rabbits. I am only a few short months (4 litters so far from 1 buck and 2 does) into it and finding my market increasing as word of mouth is getting around here in WV about the quality of meat we are putting out from our New Zealand's. I just recently added 2 more bucks and 2 more does to our herd to compensate for the increasing demand.
The best thing I did was to get in touch with some old timers that loved to rabbit hunt but either don't or can't anymore and provide rabbit for them to eat once again.
Thank you for your initial series on raising rabbits and I am looking forward to what you will present with this new series

I learned about raising rabbits from my grandmother over 50 years ago. This knowledge is timeless and your video is excellent. Thank you for sharing.

Sarah,
God has given us all various gifts. He has certainly given you and Kevin the gift of teaching. God bless you guys and keep on using your gift!!!

[HCheatNcool]

This is a gold standard I will share it with anyone who is interested in meat rabbits. My family has raised domestic rabbits and trapped wild ones for over 100 years

I don't eat meat - and, don't hate on me, because I don't hate on meat eaters - it just grosses me out 🤷‍♀️ but, that was to say that I watched this video anyway, because I love learning from Sarah. She really makes things so interesting!! Her smile & her personality make me smile & feel at peace. God bless y'all. Thanks, Sarah 💞

My husband and I watch you all the time. We just purchased our first 2 bucks to start breeding meat rabbits, we already have a female - they are all mixed. You couldn't have started this series at a better time for us!

[JV_Farms]

Yay!! I'm so happy to see a new series. I've just gotten into raising meat rabbits and I've watched and re-watched your old serious SOOOO many times! Looking forward to this one!

[helengarrett]

Every single time you teach I am pleased by your organization and good animal husbandry. Every farmer has an animal or two that doesn't thrive as expected but your farm is so well run. Your livestock thrives, your planning usually yields well and you learn from failures. Your channel is a pleasure to watch and the homestead is tidy to boot.

[schammond]

OMG Thank you Sarah. I watched your first series. Now I am preparing for my first rabbits and have been wondering aimlessly at other sites. Watching your videos I have grown to trust your advice thru your successes and failures.
This could not have come at a better time. Forgive my gushing but I am very excited for this series. 🤣

[wendyjennings]

Looking very forward to your teaching about rabbits. We have Flemish Giants. I rescued a pair over the summer. They are now mating. So perfect time for us to enjoy your shared knowledge. God bless

[AlphaForce]

I started watching your first rabbit series when i had rabbits. And it sucked me in to your entire lives. Always cant wait to wTch your guys next video! Keep it up!!

[michellewilson]

Will you please show us how to handle the rabbits? Like the best way to pick them up and hold them for health checks.

[greybeard]

Just finished watching the one you did 4 years ago yesterday. Happy you did another one

[juancarlosacostamatos]

Thanks a lot for your videos, you guys have taught me and my wife more than you can imagine, we both are cubans, and in Cuba we used to raise our animals and grow our food. Now a days we're living in Germany (in the city), and we really miss all the wonderful time we spent on the farm. We hope one day we can have our own homestead, here in lands of freedom. We also want to thank you for helping us to improve our English, it's been a blessing having you guys. Please pray for Cuba, and the suffering of the cubans who live in the island under the oppression of the Communist Dictatorial Regime. May the Lord bless you!!!

So glad to see you back in the game!!!
