Happy International Heritage Breeds Week 🤍
Some people in the livestock world leave a lasting mark on you, and for me, Callene and Eric at The Rare Hare Barn are absolutely those people. Somehow I’ve known Callene for nearly 10 years now, which honestly feels crazy to say out loud, haha!
Over the years they’ve helped me with everything from crazy photoshoots, to letting some of my images be published in their cow book, to sharing knowledge that only comes from years in livestock. Through thick and thin, sickness and health, good weather and bad, they’ve continued doing the work and caring deeply about these animals.
The Rare Hare Barn is home to Pineywoods cattle, Arapawa goats, American Rabbits, American Chinchilla rabbits, chickens, horses, and more. Heritage breeds survive because people like Callene and Eric dedicate their lives to preserving them, and I’m incredibly thankful for all the support and friendship they’ve shown me over the years.
They believe in me and I believe in them 🤍
