From lops to Dutch to New Zealands, all sorts of rabbits were shown this year at the Cass County 4-H Fair. Walton resident Ella Landes, who is turning 12, was included among the group of 4-Hers who showed off their rabbits. She is in her third year of showing rabbits.

Landes showed six rabbits this year, including a few senior bucks and does and three New Zealand rabbits. Her New Zealand rabbits, which were in the meat pen category, placed third on Sunday when they were shown.

Alongside rabbits, she and her brother John also showed poultry this year, where she won grand champion of the poultry exhibition and senior poultry showmanship. John also won beginning poultry showmanship.

Landes’ favorite part of showing rabbits is seeing the results and finding out what she can improve on for next time.

“I think [the fair is] just a really nice way so you can learn and improve from things,” Landes said.
