Risk Management for Rabbit & Poultry Farming
Tuesday, September 1, 2026 • 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Lake Country Advanced Learning Center
118 East Danville Street South Hill, Virginia, 23970
Poultry and rabbits are great animals to raise in a small area and with limited resources. Like
any business, cuniculture (rabbit) and fowl farming have risks to consider and minimize. We
will cover different breeds of rabbits, turkeys, poultry, geese, ducks and guinea fowl, as well
as housing, health, feed cost, marketing, predators, record keeping, personal goals, etc.
This workshop will have a relaxed atmosphere, and you can bring your questions and related
experiences about how you have solved high-risk situations associated with raising rabbits
and poultry.
