Bob and Shirley Moore were born and raised in southern Illinois near Murphysboro.
They met over 50 years ago after Bob ended his service with the Navy. They live on a small farm on 127 and raise lambs, cows, and rabbits. He sells the rabbits frozen and dressed for $6 each, or about $2 a pound. “There ain’t no money in it (rabbit farming). I don’t know why I do it – for something to do I guess,” Moore said. Bob, who is 75 years old, continues to work – sun up to sun down- everyday in the fields and barns of his 60-acre farm. Moore’s wife of 45 years, Shirley, describes her husband as a workaholic. “He’ll never retire,” she said.
