RoseOak Ranch: TAMUK Composite Meat Rabbits

Dear Rabbit Friends and Followers,
Last year (2025) was a difficult year for us at RoseOak Ranch due to the loss of several dear friends and family members. But the birth of our first great-grandchild last month has renewed our spirits and 2026 will see us more active on this page.

To that end, our next post will be a highly revised FEEDING PROTOCOL. 🙂

FAITH (Brian Ritchie Doe x Spirit)
DOB: 7/2022
Phenotype: Black Harlequinized Chinchilla
Genotype: Aa, BB, c(chd)/-, DD?, Eej, W-, Du-
11 # 4oz

SATURN (Baby Blue x Scotia)
DOB: 03/30/21
Phenotype: Lilac Japanese Harlequin
Genotype: aa, bb, C/c(chd), dd, ejej, ww, Du-

This boy absolutely loves to be groomed! His unusually soft, silky smooth coat has continued to lighten with age and is now a very light cream and lilac.

Great summer producer.

Adult weight: 11½ lbs.

QUARTZ (Violet x Onyx)
DOB: 04/02/21
Phenotype: REW
Genotype: Aa, Bb, cc, Dd, ee, Ww, Du/du(d)

Super sweet, he aids us in defining our doe's color genetics at the "C" locus.

Like his half-brother, Magnum (they share the same father), Quartz rarely slings and keeps his pristine white coat year round.

His ears appear on the smaller side due to his large head and longer hair at the ear base.

Quartz passes along those broad shoulders and hefty frame to his progeny.

Adult weight: 10½ lbs.
