I have been meaning to update the Blog for a while..... We have had lots of changes since last post. Here are some of the big ones:
1) We "sold out" of Shaded Holland Lops. We have sold most and have decided to focus on Blues, Blue Torts, torts and a few otters. We also have "Kissie" our Choc. Otter doe that we hope to breed type into.
We have decided that we will most likely keep Macy's Sable Point as a small "side project" and breed on a very small scale.
2) is not so big. We sold out of Fuzzy Lops. They were taking a lot of time and we really need to focus on HL's for now.
We have lots of babies right now :). I think like 24 kits under 8 weeks old. And lots of JR's as well. And I counted all the bunnies in the barn on Sunday..... *76* is our total number. Of course that counts each and every one but still....
We drove up to TN in April and got Sable Point Netherland Dwarf's :). I am really excited about developing some. I think I'll breed Amy my JR SS doe into it as she has Sable Points in the back ground and has nice type. I've bred Splash to the buck already. Can't wait for that litter! I think she carries the gene, two of her sisters were Torts.
Columbia was this past Saturday. For us it was a looong day. For the Youth breeds there was quite a few breeds and in show A, ND's were last. Holland Lops were towards the beginning. Our results:
Show A Holland Lops: We only had two that we took to show this time. We took Boaz and Darla. Boaz, took Best Solid Junior buck. There were four. We thought that was good as he is only three months old. Darla took like 2nd I think.
Show A Netherland Dwarf's: Competition wasn't very good at all. However we still did well. Silver took Best of Breed and Nathan took Best Opp. Sex of Breed. :) The judge gave Isa BOSG in Shadeds (there was enough bunnies but not people). And Kya was the only AOV so she got BOG lol.
And then HL's in show B were first and and ND's second.
Holland Lops: Boaz took like 2nd this time. I think Darla did too.
Netherland Dwarf's: Nathan got BOG and Amy got BOSG. Kya again got BOG :). And then.. Nathan won BOB. So we had to stay until the end. But it was worth it because he won BIS!! :) He now has four legs and two BIS's. :)
We are planning on going to the Netherland Dwarf Rendezvous on June 9th. Looking forward to that. It
Well, I think that about sums it up. Rose, Mask, Daphne, and Susan are due this weekend. :) Rose and Mask to Rocket, Daphne and Susan to Frank.
