My name is Mcah Menge. I am homeschooled, in eighth grade, and despite a variety of hobbies, including things like a national level speech and debate league called Stoa, gaming, both board/card
games and video games, Dungeons and Dragons, Reading and 4-H, I am still showing rabbits and this is my fifth year doing so, this is also my fifth year breeding rex rabbits, at Cherry Hill Farm in Duvall Washington with my parents, Chris Menge and Melanie Menge, my younger sister Bethany Menge also breeds and shows the rabbits, my youngest sister Grace Menge will be starting up in 4-H and showing rabbits next year, my older brother Isaiah Menge doesn’t show rabbits but he does help on the farm. My family got their first rabbit in September 2018, joining the Greensleeves 4-H club a short while after, at 4-H shows and just learning about rabbits in that first year is where I developed my love for rabbits and started showing them for the first time. Overtime I got more and more involved and this year I decided to compete at the Washington State Rabbits Breeders Association Convention for the first time, though, if you are reading this I think I did all right for a first try. Even though I have been showing and breeding rex’s for a while I am still trying to expand into breeding rex tri colors though they have been hard to find. I have participated at evergreen state fair my last four years and two of those years I have done an auction animal for the evergreen youth livestock auction. Some people that have really helped me in my project would be my parents Chris and Melanie Menge, who have drove me to rabbit shows, 4-H meetings, fairs I’ve went to such as Evergreen State Fair, Silvana Community Fair, and Washington State Fair, along with all that they have paid most expenses such as feed, cages, the animals themselves, most equipment like toe nail trimmers, lab coats, showmanship carpet, even the building my animals live in and much much more, Maria Benjamin who has led the Greensleeves rabbit project since I started and gave me my showmanship rabbit that I still use to this day, and many more.
