- Lafourche Parish Rabbit Show
The parish rabbit show will be held on January 18, 2025, at the Agriculture Building in Raceland. Check in is from 8:00 to 8:30 a.m. Judging will begin at 9:00 a.m. Please try to have your rabbits entered prior to the rabbit show. Registrations must be in to the 4-H Office by January 13th.A broadcast email was sent to all 4-H’ers in 4HOnline with the entry form and has been posted on our Facebook page. NOTE: All rabbits should be brought in a leak-proof cage. There will be a showmanship contest. Age divisions are 9-11 years old, 12-14 years old and 15 and up. Awards will be given. In an effort to stop the spread of Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus and to prevent cases in our state, the Louisiana Department of Ag and Forestry requires health papers on all rabbits attending a show in Louisiana. This includes out of state and in state rabbits attending a show in Louisiana. Without current health papers, rabbits will not be allowed to enter the parish show. Before the show you can obtain a health paper from any vet. If you already have health papers from the regional rabbit show that was in November, you can use the same papers for our parish show. You must have this paper when checking in your rabbits. Anna Ozio from Lafourche Animal Hospital will be at the parish rabbit show to issue health papers prior to the show judging to distribute papers. You will need to fill out a vet form by January 10th and email it to her at lafourcheanimalhospital@yahoo.com. The cost is $25.00 per health paper. If submitted after this date, a late fee of $50 will be charged.
