In show terms, what is a 6/8 doe? Is it a doe that is 6-8 weeks old? 6-8 pounds?

6-8 months- called 'Intermediate' and only the large breeds are 6 class.

4 Class Rabbits are divided into 4 Classes: Senior Buck, Senior Doe, Junior Buck and Junior Doe...Seniors are 6 months and older.
6 Class Rabbits are divided into 6 Classes: Senior Buck, Senior Doe, Intermediate (6/8) Buck, Intermediate Doe (6/8) Doe, Junior Buck and Junior Doe. Seniors are over 8 months old, Intermediate 6-8 months, and Juniors under 6 months.

There are also weight restrictions for each class...a rabbit can move up in age class if it meets weight requirements, but cannot move down.
