Upon long reflection, I think I have come up with a use to put this prize to that may in a round-about way hit upon all three of these. If we were to win this contest, I would put the money toward the building of a much needed second rabbit cage. Our rabbits are ready to breed and the male is itching for combat.
Our rabbits are housed in our underground green house. They help to heat it in the winter, so the more the better.
Rabbits are profitable, especially since our male is a pure-bred angora. Fingers crossed for a few like fared descendants! A new cage will aid to the operation and thus will help with the savings needed to get our next homestead.
They also live for up to 12 years and since we bought an angora male, any descendants we don't sell or butcher, who carry his angora blood, will be kept for their wool. Thus becoming a long-term investment.
Lastly, as stated above, we will butcher some for meat. The ability to do this is a prep that would be invaluable in times of long term disaster. Should we win, we will do a post on how we build the cages.
Thanks for the contest. It is a hard one, but well worth it. (Contest at: greenacrehome)
