My son just won Grand Champion Meat Pen at our county fair, they were auctioned off and went to the young daughter of the buyer as pets, she had them named long before she was able to take them. With rabbits and chickens the buyer has the option to keep the rabbits/chicken or donate them back to the 4H kid who raised them, sometimes they donate them to other 4H kids so they can get a start. My friends daughter had her meat pen given back to her. Its a charity sale to benefit the 4H kids, helps them pay their feed bill and rewards their hard work. Meat pens went from 250-400 at our 4H auction. You must have a commercial breed, they must be within a certain weight and age, all the same color and breed. My son's rabbits won because they were little carbon copies of each other, and were Florida Whites, with tight compact hard bodies. The other meat pens varied more in size, appearance and weight. Line breeding does sometimes pay off.
